Job Description
At Shield AI, our mission is to protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems that are deployed in the world’s most critical environments. As a Senior Engineer on our Software Systems team, you’ll play a central role in delivering integrated solutions built around our core autonomy platform—Hivemind—which is already operating in high-stakes, real-world missions.
This isn’t a traditional engineering role. You’ll work at the intersection of software, systems architecture, and autonomy—partnering across teams to turn complex design visions into operational reality. You won’t just build systems; you’ll help define how autonomous technologies are designed, developed, and deployed.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with:
-Programmatic leadership to determine the appropriate System Engineering level of effort
-System Design Teams (e.g., Human Factors, UX, Architecture, etc.) to decompose solution designs to actionable levels of detail
-System Development & Test (e.g., Development, Integration, Test) to define system architectures
This position offers remote flexibility but requires the individual to live in or near Dayton, Ohio due to occasional on-site needs.
