    Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) is a security technology company building the nation's first Autonomous Security Force: autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and elite security professionals operating as one integrated managed service. The Company is on a mission to make the United States of America the safest country in the world. One Team. One Force.

    Job Summary

    You will own the shared fleet and release automation function that Knightscope's device products (K5, K7, H1, K1H, ECD, and eventually Signals) all depend on. This is the earliest hire in the new centralized Engineering Services function because it is the highest-leverage: it unblocks the K7 beta prototype and the entire device rollout sequence.
