Electrical Integration Technician

Sunnyvale, CA

The future of defense will be decided by those who field intelligent machines at scale. At Scout AI, we’re developing Fury, the first robotic foundation model for defense, to give U.S. forces overwhelming, adaptable, and autonomous power across every domain. Fury enables human operators to command fleets of robots through natural language, and empowers those machines to sense, decide, and act together as one. This mission will ask everything of us: urgency, precision, and relentless work.

The Role

You will be responsible for electrical integration, system assembly, and operational readiness of Scout AI’s robotic platforms. This role requires hands-on experience working with electrical systems, wiring harnesses, sensors, power systems, and robotics hardware.

You’ll play a critical role in bridging engineering development and real-world deployment ensuring systems are built correctly, tested thoroughly, and ready for mission operations.

Robotics Assembly

  • Perform mechanical and electrical assembly of robotic platforms and subsystems
  • Install sensors, compute modules, radios, batteries, and motor controllers
  • Support final system integration before deployment
  • Maintain documentation for wiring diagrams, build procedures, and integration processes

System Testing

  • Conduct hardware validation and integration tests across electrical and robotic subsystems
  • Support test campaigns and debugging efforts with engineering teams
  • Assist in identifying and resolving system-level integration issues

Operations / Crew Chief Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary technician responsible for the readiness of robotic platforms
  • Maintain operational hardware inventory and spare components
  • Prepare systems for field testing and deployments
  • Support field operations, system troubleshooting, and rapid repairs

Continuous Improvement

  • Help improve build processes, assembly procedures, and hardware reliability
  • Provide feedback to engineering teams to improve manufacturability and serviceability

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in electrical technician, robotics technician, or hardware integration roles
  • Experience assembling and troubleshooting electrical systems and wiring harnesses
  • Familiarity with electronics tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes, soldering equipment)
  • Experience reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
  • Hands-on experience assembling complex electromechanical systems
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

Preferred

  • Experience with robotics platforms, UAVs, UGVs, or autonomous systems
  • Experience integrating sensors, cameras, radios, and embedded computing systems
  • Familiarity with battery systems, power distribution, and motor controllers
  • Experience in defense, aerospace, robotics, or autonomous vehicle programs
  • Prior experience in fast-paced startup environments

Bonus

  • Experience with embedded systems or basic firmware flashing
  • Experience supporting field operations or system deployment
  • Background as a crew chief, final assembly technician, or integration lead

Why Join Scout

  • Work on the frontier of autonomous defense systems
  • Help build and deploy the first robotic foundation model for defense
  • Collaborate with leading engineers in robotics, AI, and autonomy
  • See your work deployed on real-world systems
  • Be part of a team shaping the future of intelligent machines

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity participation
  • Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Competitive PTO and company holidays
  • Daily catered meals and stocked kitchen
  • EV charging
  • Relocation assistance (role dependent)

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
