About The Position

Stratom, Inc. is a mission-driven engineering company building autonomous and unmanned off-highway vehicles and related robotic systems. Our systems operate in demanding real-world environments, where performance, reliability, and engineering discipline are essential. Our work integrates advanced autonomy with rugged industrial hardware designed for austere conditions. Our work spans the full lifecycle of complex systems, from early concept and prototyping through fielded deployment. With multiple working prototypes in hand, our next major opportunity is transitioning these platforms into production over the coming years to deliver capable systems at scale. We are looking for talented and engineers who want to take ownership of challenging engineering problems and play a key role in bringing multiple platforms into production. A Note About This Role These qualifications represent the types of experience that tend to be successful at Stratom. We are intentionally building a small team of engineers who take responsibility for delivering real systems. We value engineers who bring complementary strengths. Roles at Stratom often intersect, and the exact responsibilities may evolve based on the skills and initiative of the person who joins. Ultimately, we are building a team that contributes to our mission. We recognize that great engineers come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. If you are excited about the role but don’t meet every qualification listed, we still encourage you to apply.
