Senior AI Engineer

Scout AI is developing Fury, the first robotic foundation model for defense, to empower U.S. forces with autonomous capabilities. They are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to contribute to multimodal foundation models, influencing system reasoning and coordination across robotic teams.

Responsibilities:

• Design, train, and evaluate multimodal foundation models that enable multi-robot mission execution
• Drive model development decisions including model architectures, data mixtures, curriculum design, and training recipes informed by rigorous experimentation
• Curate and generate large-scale training datasets from both synthetic and real-world data engines
• Develop memory, communication, planning, and tool-use capabilities for AI agents operating across teams of robots
• Be obsessed with evaluation: design benchmarks, metrics, and testing methodologies that enable rapid iteration across the team
• Build and improve simulation environments targeted for synthetic data generation, evaluation, and reinforcement learning
• Translate foundational research into deployable, real-time perception and decision-making systems
• Collaborate across engineering, robotics, and mission teams to integrate AI systems with onboard autonomy stacks
• Conduct field trials and mission operations to validate system performance under real-world constraints
