About The Position

Doodle Labs builds the connectivity backbone of the autonomous systems revolution- resilient wireless mesh networks that let drones, robots, and unmanned platforms operate reliably in the world's most demanding environments. We sit at the intersection of defense, robotics, and next-generation autonomy, powering the machines that are changing how militaries, first responders, and industries operate in the field. Our core purpose is simple: connect anyone and anything, at any time, in any place. For over 25 years, our team has been at the forefront of mesh networking, partnering with leading defense programs, robotics manufacturers, and system integrators worldwide. The work here doesn't sit in a slide deck- it ends up in the field, in the hands of people for whom failure isn't an option. About the Role We're hiring a Talent & People Partner based in Austin. This is a generalist seat with a recruiting lean. You'll split your time between building out HR programs that scale with the company, running full-cycle hiring for a range of roles, and helping leadership think clearly about headcount and workforce planning. You'll work directly with the Head of HR and Talent Acquisitions to shape how Doodle Labs attracts, develops, and retains talent as we grow. In this role, you'll be a strategic partner to hiring managers and leadership, owning the full recruiting lifecycle for critical positions across technical, commercial, and operational functions. You'll also build and manage HR programs that improve how we onboard, develop, and engage our team --- and help define what it means to work at Doodle Labs.
