Fleet and Release Automation Engineer, Engineering Services
Role Overview
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.
