Full Job Description

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

We’re hiring a Drone Operator to join our Mission Operations team at our test site in Paso Robles, CA. You’ll pilot and supervise uncrewed aerial systems during test flights, autonomy trials, and live mission rehearsals - operating both manually and in supervised-autonomy modes. This is a hands-on, field-based role for someone who is comfortable in the air, meticulous about safety, and energized by working at the frontier of defense robotics.

Responsibilities

Plan, set up, and execute drone flight operations in support of autonomy testing and mission rehearsals
Pilot uncrewed aerial systems manually and supervise autonomous flight, intervening safely when needed
Conduct pre-flight inspections, perform routine maintenance, and troubleshoot hardware and payload issues in the field
Capture, log, and organize flight data, telemetry, and observations to feed our model training and engineering teams
Enforce airspace, range, and safety protocols, and help maintain compliance with FAA and site regulations
Provide clear, structured feedback to engineers on system performance, failure modes, and edge cases
Support field deployments, including equipment transport, staging, and recovery

Qualifications

Demonstrated experience operating drones / uncrewed aerial systems (commercial, military, or equivalent)
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, or the ability to obtain one prior to start
Strong situational awareness, sound judgment under pressure, and an uncompromising commitment to safety
Comfort working outdoors in varied conditions at a test range, with the ability to lift and transport equipment
Mechanical aptitude and basic troubleshooting skills with hardware, batteries, and payloads
Clear communicator who can document observations and collaborate closely with engineers
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
Passion about defense of the United States and its allies
May be expected to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance

Why Join Scout

Work on the world’s most important frontier, ensuring U.S. dominance in the age of intelligent machines
Be a core part of a team building the first defense-specific robotic foundation model
Collaborate with some of the top engineers in autonomy, AI, and national security
Help define the future of intelligent defense systems
Backed by Draper Associates, Booz Allen Ventures, and other top investors
