AI Researcher

Scout AI is developing Fury, the first robotic foundation model for defense, aiming to provide U.S. forces with advanced autonomous power. The AI Researcher will lead research in areas such as reinforcement learning and vision-language modeling to enhance autonomous defense systems.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct original research in embodied AI, including learning from warfighter demonstration, reinforcement learning, memory, reward, vision-language modeling, and world modeling
• Build, test, and benchmark large-scale models for perception, decision-making, and control in simulated and physical environments
• Investigate transfer learning and continual learning paradigms across diverse robotic domains
• Collaborate with engineering, robotics, and field teams to integrate research into operational systems
• Lead research strategy and roadmap across key areas of autonomy and machine learning
• Support field tests and data collection campaigns to evaluate system performance in realistic environments
