Job description

Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Its products include Hivemind autonomy software, V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, and Aechelon simulation and synthetic reality technologies. With offices and facilities across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, Shield AI’s technology actively supports operations worldwide. For more information, visit www.shield.ai. Follow Shield AI on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube. 

Job Description:
Build the foundation for the next generation of autonomous systems. In this role, you'll develop and integrate the core software and platform infrastructure that powers mission-critical technology, working across teams to deliver reliable, scalable solutions from development through deployment.
What you'll do:
  • Own platform integration across SIL, HIL, VIL, and edge deployment workflows, ensuring components work together reliably and are easy for developers to use.  
  • Build and maintain reference work spaces, platform reference implementations, and tooling that accelerate development, testing, deployment, and validation.  
  • Integrate platform-level software across hardware, sensors, controllers, APIs, configuration, orchestration, and fleet/device management systems.  
  • Support embedded platform bring-up and hardware diversification across developer boards, iron birds, aircraft/vehicle test platforms, and other reference hardware.  
  • Improve platform stability, API quality, developer experience, and system scalability for mission-critical product and customer commitments.  
  • Partner with autonomy, hardware, product, and program teams to identify integration gaps and deliver durable solutions. 
Required qualifications:
  • 5+ years experience with strong software engineering experience in robotics, autonomy, embedded systems, distributed systems, or similarly complex platforms.
  • Strong experience with C++ and Python and experience building developer tools, configuration systems, orchestration frameworks, or automation.
  • Experience integrating and debugging software across Linux-based systems, hardware interfaces, deployment environments, and APIs, including use of measurement or diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or protocol analyzers to debug embedded communication interfaces.
  • B.S. or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • Ability to work independently in ambiguous technical areas and drive cross-functional integration efforts to completion.  
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience with SIL, HIL, and VIL workflows for autonomy, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or defense systems.  
  • Experience with embedded Linux, BSP development, build systems, device trees, bootloaders, or hardware bring-up.  
  • Experience with edge deployment, device discovery, fleet management, OTA workflows, or application deployment to remote devices.  
  • Experience with platforms such as Jetson, Qualcomm, i.MX8, or similar embedded compute hardware.  
  • Experience integrating sensor drivers, controller interfaces, vehicle interfaces, hardware abstraction layers, or reference test platforms.
