About Doodle Labs
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.

Clear headcount visibility and workforce planning that keeps hiring aligned with business strategy
Employer brand that attracts strong talent to Austin and supports recruitment across regions
Collaborative support to the broader People team on scaling HR functions and programs
Who You Are
4-7 years in HR, recruiting, or a blended people ops role- ideally in a scaling tech or hardware company
Comfortable owning the full recruiting lifecycle without heavy process infrastructure
Strong communicator- you'll work closely with hiring managers and candidates, and the quality of those relationships matters
Naturally curious about people, motivated to understand what drives candidates and employees
Organized and detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple recruiting pipelines and HR initiatives simultaneously
Strategic thinker who can translate business needs into recruiting and HR strategy
Comfortable with ambiguity and building processes in a fast-growing, scaling environment
Excited by autonomy, robotics, and building teams that do serious technical work
