Job description

Job Summary:
Shield AI is a venture-backed deep-tech company dedicated to protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. As a Staff Modeling & Simulation Engineer, you will contribute to the development of modeling and simulation tooling for next-generation aircraft, ensuring robust automated testing and system performance analysis.
Responsibilities:
• Develop models and infrastructure for the integrated simulation pipeline in C++.
• Design deterministic, high-performance simulation tools capable of faster-than-real-time execution for development, testing, and release.
• Implement test scenarios and write unit, system, and regression tests.
• Collaborate across autonomy, embedded, GNC, and test engineering to ensure the simulation mirrors real aircraft behavior and mission scenarios.
• Contribute to platform-agnostic simulation tooling to accelerate current and future aircraft design and development efforts.
• Perform verification and validation (V&V) analysis activities on modeling tools.
• Conduct system performance analysis and generate reports and visualizations.
• Utilize best practices in C++, simulation architecture, and performance engineering.
Qualifications:
Required:
• BS or MS in Computer Science, Aerospace, Robotics, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in simulation software development, with emphasis on modern C++ (C++17 or later) and performance optimization.
• Strong understanding of rigid-body dynamics, kinematics, aerodynamics, and sensor mechanics.
• Proven experience developing or integrating simulation systems for robotics, aerospace, and/or autonomous systems.
• Ability to debug complex build and runtime environments (CMake, package management, logging, and profiling tools).
• Experience with software testing tools (GTest, etc.)
• Experience with simulation V&V.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across software, hardware, and systems disciplines.
Preferred:
• Grasp of real-time and deterministic software design, including multi-threading, synchronization, and memory management.
• Experience with DevOps-integrated simulation workflows, including CI/CD and automated hardware testing environments.
• Working knowledge of Python for data analysis, test automation, or simulation orchestration.
• Familiarity with aircraft and flight physics modeling.
Company:
Shield AI is a deep-tech company that focuses on developing AI-powered systems to enhance the safety of service members and civilians. Founded in 2015, the company is headquartered in San Diego, USA, with a team of 1001-5000 employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
