Job Description:

Shield AI’s Hivemind autonomy team is developing next‑generation multi‑target tracking and sensor fusion capabilities that enable resilient, mission‑ready autonomous systems. We are seeking engineers—from experienced senior contributors through subject matter experts—to design, implement, and deploy the tracking stack that powers Hivemind Pilot across all domains and platforms.

In this open‑rank role, you will bring deep expertise in target state estimation, multi‑sensor data fusion, and tracking theory (e.g., Bayesian filtering, statistical inference, association algorithms, dynamics modeling), combined with strong proficiency in modern C++ for production deployment. You will help drive the technical roadmap, develop high‑performance tracking algorithms, evaluate system performance across simulation, HITL, and flight test environments, and mentor teammates commensurate with your level. Your work will directly advance state‑of‑the‑art autonomy capabilities for our U.S. and international customers.
