## Description

In today's dynamic worksites, seamless collaboration between people and machines is essential. FORT's platform ensures safe, secure, and dynamic control that surpasses legacy systems and next-generation AI capabilities.

While autonomous machines offer significant advantages, they also introduce new safety challenges. FORT addresses these concerns by providing solutions such as the Wireless E-Stop, which allows operators to instantly stop any machine from a safe distance, enhancing safety during emergencies.

Additionally, FORT's Safe Remote Control enables operators to manage heavy machinery remotely, reducing the risk of accidents and improving visibility.

By ensuring communications integrity across any network, FORT empowers customers to protect their most valuable assets-people, data, and machines-ensuring they remain safe and secure., * Design and scale Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) benches for system and device-level validation

 * Build infrastructure for multi-bench orchestration (scheduling, parallel execution, resource management)
 * Build and manage DevOps workflows for test infrastructure, including pipeline automation, environment provisioning, and artifact management.
 * Design and integrate CI/CD pipelines for hardware-based testing
 * Build containerized (like Docker) environments for reproducible test execution
 * Develop systems to control hardware programmatically (power, connectivity, devices)
 * Improve lab infrastructure, fixtures, and test environments for scalability and reliability
 * Build logging, metrics, and observability systems for debugging and traceability
 * Collaborate with firmware, cloud, and hardware teams to resolve system-level issues
 * Mentor engineers and drive best practices for scalable test infrastructure
