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 looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer who is excited about working close to the hardware layer, especially bringing up and validating sensors on new platforms.

- Bring up new sensors (IMU, camera interfaces, LiDAR modules, environmental sensors)
- Work with hardware engineers during board bring-up and validation
- Implement and test communication protocols
- I2C, SPI, UART, CAN
- Write firmware for microcontrollers and embedded processors
- Build tools and tests to validate sensor data quality and reliability
- Troubleshoot hardware-software integration issues
Job requirements
- Strong fundamentals in C or C++ for embedded systems
- Strong experience in embedded linux
- Understanding of microcontrollers and embedded development workflows
- Familiarity with basic electronics concepts (signals, timing, debugging)
- Experience working with hardware interfaces like SPI, I2C, or UART
- Ability to read datasheets and implement drivers from documentation
- Strong debugging mindset and attention to detail
- Interest in robotics, embedded systems, or hardware-adjacent software
