Help build perception software that works beyond the lab. Shield AI’s Perception team builds software that helps autonomous aircraft and vehicles understand their surroundings and make decisions in the real world. We’re looking for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving difficult perception problems and turning those solutions into reliable autonomy capabilities.

You’ll bring depth in an area such as object tracking, classical/ML-based detection, computer vision, optimal state estimation, or sensor fusion. Working alongside autonomy, simulation, platform, and test engineers, you’ll take capabilities from an initial idea through deployment in the Hivemind product.

Develop perception algorithms and production software in modern C++.

Own features from design and implementation through integration, testing, and delivery.

Investigate system behavior using sensor data, simulation, logs, and focused experiments.

Collaborate across teams to turn research and customer-driven work into reusable product capabilities.

Contribute to technical direction, review designs and code, and mentor other engineers.
