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.We are searching for a dynamic and experienced Integration and Test Engineer to join our team and help us build the future for autonomous and robotics machines.
Responsibilities
- Develop the test methods and procedures to transition products from design into volume manufacturing.
- Develop software to introduce and improve automation as part of an end-to-end test framework.

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.
