Job description

Founded in 2015, 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 and V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft. 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:
The Software Integration & Operations (SIO) group turns frontier autonomy into mission-ready aircraft. We own the commit-to-flight pipeline-deterministic aircraft and mission simulation, HIL/VIL integration, CI/CD, automated flight qualification testing, and release engineering. Our goal is simple: make AI fly-safely, repeatably, and fast.  
 
As a Modeling & Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for improving and adding to our sensor and communications model suite so that our operator training and internal engineering pipelines have a seamless translation from sim to real results.  
 
What You'll Do
  • Develop and enhance radar sensor models for use in simulation and evaluation of aeronautical vehicles. 
  • Translate theoretical models into efficient, reliable C++ implementations with a focus on numerical accuracy and performance. 
  • Validate models against real-world data and authoritative references, including field test data and calibration procedures. 
  • Collaborate with simulation and training application teams to ensure models integrate cleanly into operator-facing tools. 
  • Design automated validation and regression testing strategies for mathematical models to ensure fidelity across releases. 
  • Prototype and evaluate new modeling techniques (reduced-order models, uncertainty quantification, machine learning-based surrogates) to push the state of the art. 
  • Document assumptions, equations, and validation results so that both engineers and operators can trust model outputs. 
Required Qualifications
  •  BS or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Applied Math, Physics, or related field with 5+ years of aerospace modeling experience. 
  • C++ foundation with experience implementing numerical methods. 
  • Demonstrated experience with aerospace models such as: Radar sensors, Radio communications systems 
  • Experience validating simulations against real-world or experimental data. 
  • Ability to write clear documentation explaining assumptions, limitations, and expected behaviors of models. 
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
 
Preferred Qualifications
  • 1+ years of experience working on pilot/operator training systems. 
  • Experience with Eigen or SciPy for model prototyping and validation. 
  • Familiarity with state estimation sensor models (GPS, IMU, Gyro, etc) for simulation environments. 
  • Demonstrated experience with payload sensor models including: Laser senros, IR and optical cameras
  • Knowledge of uncertainty quantification and statistical analysis methods. 
  • Experience with parallelization or GPU acceleration for compute-heavy models. 
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with a collaborative and detail-oriented approach. 
  • Familiarity with Python for test automation and data analysis pipelines. 
  • Passion for aerospace and autonomous vehicle systems. 
$105,000 - $200,000 a year
