Standard AR-type trigger I'd guess. There are a normal series of function checks to debug this.
Separate the upper from the lower and manipulate the hammer directly:
Does holding the trigger back and pushing the hammer back allow the disconnector to catch the hammer?
Does releasing the trigger once the hammer is caught by the disconnector allow the sear to catch the hammer?
My guess without seeing anything is that the disconnector is not catching the hammer, either due to the wrong geometry or the bolt not pushing the hammer down far enough.
I would take the issue up with Ruger once you debug with function checks.

Read your owner's manual, the section on the Regulated Gas System.

I did it's on setting 3 you think putting it on 2 could fix it?
Isn't setting 3 the one for single shot?
I think I started mine on 2, put 100 or more rounds through it and frankly, it works fine so have never changed it.
And if you "Search" there's several other threads on these guns that may have info to help you.

SFAR Gas Block Adjustment
I'm new this forum and the proud owner of a SFAR 308 win 16.1" barrel. So far, I've run a couple hundred rounds through it and it functions well but seems to be hard on brass, it gouges the base of the case head. I've seen lots feedback that this is due to over-gassing and recommendations to...

Check the alignment of the gas block too. Make sure it's where it needs to be.
"after each shot I got to cock it to get the trigger engaged"
This is a different issue than the bolt cycling. Is the bolt cycling at all after firing or stays locked? This most likely related to the gas block as many have had issues with.
Is the bolt cycling but not cocking the hammer? This may also be related to the same problem. If the bolt is not fully cycling, it may not move far enough to cock the hammer (engage the trigger).
As mentioned, there's an entire start up procedure that should be followed with any/all AR type firearms.
