Field Service Representative - Autonomous Robots

Marathon Targets utilizes our autonomous robotic targets to bridge the gap in training between the first time a shooter fires live ammunition at a moving target, and a real firefight. Robots are used to create the most realistic live fire scenario training possible to aid in developing the skills of law enforcement officers and war fighters.

This role involves operating our robotic targets to support the training of a federal law enforcement agency. This includes agents, uniformed officers, the tactical team, sniper team and more. This position does entail some hours such as late nights and early mornings, and there is occasional interstate travel as well to support when the agency trains out of state. We have a "Mission First" mindset!
