Job description

Description

We’re hiring a UGV technician to support our unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) programs and ensure our platforms are ready to execute in the field. You will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance, repair, and readiness of Scout’s off-road robotic vehicles and support equipment. You’ll spend most of your week in the shop and in the field, conducting inspections, servicing vehicles in rugged environments, and keeping our fleet in peak condition. This role is highly hands-on: you’ll be diagnosing mechanical issues, troubleshooting electrical systems, repairing and fabricating parts, and ensuring our vehicles perform reliably in mission-relevant conditions. Your work is the backbone that enables testing, data collection, and rapid iteration on cutting-edge autonomy.

Why Join Us!
  • Work on the world’s most important frontier, ensuring U.S. and allied dominance in the age of intelligent machines
  • Be a core part of a team building the first defense-specific robotic foundation model
  • Help define the future of intelligent defense systems
  • Backed by Draper Associates, Booz Allen Ventures, and other top investors

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform maintenance, repair, and inspection of Scout’s off-road unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and support equipment
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues
  • Maintain and service suspension, drivetrains, braking systems, and powertrains
  • Fabricate, weld, and modify parts as required
  • Support engineers and operators during field tests, providing rapid maintenance and repair in operational environments
  • Safely transport, stage, and recover vehicles in diverse terrain and weather conditions
  • Stay current with vehicle system updates, parts requirements, and technical manuals
  • Enforce safe maintenance practices and adhere to operational and safety standards
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure vehicles are prepared for demonstrations, deployments, and field trials


Qualifications

  • Proven hands-on experience as a mechanic, technician, or maintainer of off-road vehicles
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and drivetrain systems
  • Ability to perform diagnostics, field-level maintenance, and complex repairs
  • Experience with fabrication, welding, machining, and modification of vehicle components
  • Familiarity with electrical wiring, sensors, and control systems
  • Comfortable working outdoors
  • Commitment to safety standards and preventative maintenance practices
  • Physical ability to lift, transport, and recover vehicles and components as required
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States is required. Certain job duties may involve access to U.S. export-controlled information


Benefits

  • Competitive base salary and bonus
  • Meaningful equity
  • Premium medical, dental, and vision plans with $0 paycheck contribution
  • Competitive PTO and company holiday calendar
  • Catered lunch daily and fully stocked kitchen
  • EV charging
  • Relocation assistance (depending on role eligibility)

Five and Fly, LLC is a veteran-owned professional services firm that specializes in providing exceptional solutions to enhance the end-to-end transition of active duty service members, national guardsmen, reservists and veterans into civilian careers. We are instrumental in helping businesses recruit, hire, onboard, and retain these individuals in such a way that they find long-term fulfillment and generate exponential value for their employers in their civilian careers.

We do so primarily through the DOD SkillBridge Program, which provides opportunities for transitioning service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. Companies can experience two (2) to six (6) months of no-cost work from the service member, while the service member receives compensation and benefits from the DOD.

By partnering with mission-driven organizations to provide meaningful opportunities, Five and Fly, LLC aims to prevent veteran suicide in the five years following military separation by empowering veterans to find fulfillment in their civilian careers. We serve service members and their civilian employers with intentionality, unconventionality, and longevity in mind.
