Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead the design, build, and deployment of mechanical and electromechanical systems across various robotic platforms. This includes architecting autonomy systems, designing rugged enclosures, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure field-ready performance.
Candidates must have 8+ years of experience in mechanical, electrical, or hardware test engineering with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Strong 3D CAD skills and experience with ruggedized electronics and environmental qualification are essential.
The future of defense will be decided by those who field intelligent machines at scale. At Scout, 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.
As a Senior mechanical engineer you will take full ownership of the hardware development across Scout’s robotic platforms. You'll design, build, and validate everything from vehicle testbeds to ruggedized compute enclosures and field-ready payload integrations. You'll help define requirements.
This role means rapidly iterating on real-world systems, designing for environmental resilience. You’ll work across disciplines and domains, collaborating tightly with our software engineers, mission operations team, and external partners to ensure our systems deliver dominance in the field. You’ll be moving fast, context-switching daily, and helping define the culture and process as we go. This is a rare opportunity to come in early and architect the hardware foundation for the AGI-powered future of defense.

Building the robotic foundation model for defense
Scout AI is a frontier AI lab for U.S. defense. It was founded in 2024 by Colby Adcock and Collin Otis with a mission to deploy mission-ready AI agents across unmanned systems for the Department of War and its allies. Its Fury foundation model transforms uncrewed ground, air, sea, and space platforms and payloads into intelligent, collaborative teammates that multiply warfighter effectiveness. Scout AI is based in Sunnyvale, CA and is backed by leading institutional investors including Booz Allen Ventures, Align Ventures, Draper Associates, and Perot Jain.
