FORT brings together the best technologists who have spent their careers working to solve the most complex and dangerous aspects of robotics.
The company was founded in 2018 by Samuel Reeves, who spent the previous decade making landmine clearance safer through robotics. During this time, Reeves realized that secure communications – considered core infrastructure elsewhere in technology – didn’t exist for robots in fields like construction, agriculture, warehousing, or elsewhere.
FORT was founded to create a first-of-its-kind Robotics Control Platform (RCP) to empower companies with unique tools to ensure robots cause no harm.
As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will be critical in connecting and advancing our systems to the next level in developing cutting-edge robotics and autonomous systems. This role is integral to defining and managing system-level requirements across hardware, firmware, and cloud software, ensuring seamless integration and alignment. You will be responsible for understanding the system and proactively advancing our processes to avoid last-minute functionality definitions.
We seek a hands-on professional with a software and industrial automation background who can think holistically, manage requirements with traceability, and bring solutions to the table. We encourage you to apply if you are excited about building the future of robotics and autonomous systems in industries like DOD, agriculture, construction, and warehouses.

Competencies:
Education: A B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
Work Style: Hybrid with a preference for local candidates who can occasionally come into the office in Philadelphia.
Increasingly, today’s worksites require people and machines to collaborate side by side. To ensure control amid increasing automation, FORT’s platform is safe, secure, and dynamic in ways that can’t be achieved by legacy controls or next-gen AI.
Autonomous machines hold great promise but present new and serious risks. FORT minimizes those risks by ensuring communications integrity over any network – allowing customers to rest assured that their most valuable assets, people, data, and machines are always safe and secure.
