Field Service Representative - Autonomous Robots

Marathon Targets' mission is to deploy the world's most advanced autonomous robotic target systems. We solve a critical, real-world training gap, which ensures that the first time a shooter fires live ammunition at a realistic, moving target isn't in a real firefight.

You will be hands-on with cutting-edge robotics, managing field deployments, and ensuring our systems perform flawlessly during high-stakes live-fire training. You'll be active, outdoors, and problem-solving in real-time on the range.

What to Expect:

• Dynamic Environments: Training schedules mirror real-world operations. This means your schedule will adapt to the training units, occasionally requiring early mornings, late nights, or weekend support to capture realistic night-fire or multi-day exercises.

A Shared Purpose: One Team One Fight: We operate with a disciplined, mission-first mindset. We work hard to execute flawless training iterations, and we value autonomy, accountability, and adaptability in the field.
