The Systems & Platform Integration team serves as the engineering bridge between Hivemind autonomy and operational platforms across Shield AI’s Expeditionary and Emerging Operations portfolio. Our mission is to rapidly enable new platform adoption by developing the software interfaces, configurations, and integration frameworks required to connect autonomy with vehicle systems, sensors, payloads, mission computers, and communications systems.

As a Software Integration Engineer (L1), you will work alongside experienced engineers to develop the software interfaces that connect Hivemind with real-world platforms. You will gain hands-on experience writing C++ integration software, working with device and vehicle interfaces, configuring Linux-based mission computers, and troubleshooting data flow across distributed systems. You will support integration and validation activities across Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Vehicle-in-the-Loop (VIL), lab, and field environments.

Develop C++ software interfaces between Hivemind and sensors, flight controllers, payloads, radios, and vehicle systems.

Build and maintain interface blocks, platform adapters, and middleware components.

Integrate data from sensors and vehicle systems into autonomy software.

Implement and debug communication interfaces using protocols such as MAVLink, serial, TCP/UDP, and multicast.

Configure and deploy software on Linux-based mission computers.

Support SIL, HIL, VIL, and lab integration testing.

Develop Python scripts and tools for testing, configuration, data analysis, and troubleshooting.

Debug issues involving software interfaces, data formats, timing, networking, configuration, and system behavior.

Work with autonomy, systems, test, and flight teams to integrate and validate software on new platforms.
