Job description

Job Summary:
Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company focused on protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. The Object Detection and Tracking Engineer will develop advanced perception algorithms and integrate sensor data for autonomous aircraft, ensuring effective operation in complex environments.
Responsibilities:
• Develop advanced perception algorithms — Design and implement robust algorithms for object detection, classification, and multi-target tracking across diverse sensor modalities.
• Implement sensor fusion frameworks — Integrate data from vision systems, radars, and other mission sensors using probabilistic and deterministic fusion techniques to generate accurate situational awareness.
• Develop state estimation capabilities — Design and refine algorithms for localization and pose estimation using IMU, GPS, vision, and other onboard sensing inputs to enable stable and accurate navigation.
• Analyze and utilize sensor ICDs — Interpret interface control documents (ICDs) and technical specifications for aircraft-mounted sensors to ensure correct data handling, interpretation, and synchronization.
• Optimize perception performance — Tune and evaluate perception pipelines for performance, robustness, and real-time efficiency in both simulation and real-world environments.
• Support autonomy integration — Work closely with autonomy, systems, and integration teams to interface perception outputs with planning, behaviors, and decision-making modules.
• Validate in simulated and operational settings — Leverage synthetic data, simulation environments, and field testing to validate algorithm accuracy and mission readiness.
• Collaborate with hardware and sensor teams — Ensure seamless integration of perception algorithms with onboard compute platforms and diverse sensor payloads.
• Drive innovation in airborne sensing — Contribute novel ideas and state-of-the-art techniques to advance real-time perception capabilities for unmanned aircraft operating in complex, GPS-denied, or contested environments.
• Travel Requirement – Members of this team typically travel around 10-15% of the year (to different office locations, customer sites, and flight integration events).
Qualifications:
Required:
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and/or similar degree, or equivalent practical experience
• Typically requires a minimum of 10 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 9 years and a Master’s degree; or 7 years with a PhD; or equivalent work experience.
• Background in implementing algorithms such as Kalman Filters, multi-target tracking, or deep learning-based detection models.
• Familiarity with fusing data from radar, EO/IR cameras, or other sensors using probabilistic or rule-based approaches.
• Familiarity with SLAM, visual-inertial odometry, or sensor-fused localization approaches in real-time applications.
• Ability to interpret and work with Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and hardware integration specs.
• Proficiency with version control, debugging, and test-driven development in cross-functional teams.
Preferred:
• Hands-on integration or algorithm development with airborne sensing systems.
• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or Tensorflow, particularly for vision-based object detection or classification tasks.
• Experience deploying perception software on SWaP-constrained platforms.
• Familiarity with validating perception systems during flight test events or operational environments.
• Understanding of sensing challenges in denied or degraded conditions.
• Exposure to perception applications across air, maritime, and ground platforms.
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.
