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. The HMS Perception team develops sensor-processing, vision, tracking, sensor-fusion, and AI/ML capabilities that provide reliable information to autonomous systems. We evaluate work with real and simulated sensor data and integrate outputs into mission software. As an Engineer II, you will deliver bounded perception features and evaluation improvements using established technical direction. You will diagnose moderately defined algorithm, data, and software issues, bring changes through tests and documentation, and coordinate on your assigned interfaces. Senior engineers will guide subsystem architecture and cross-program technical decisions. What you'll do * Implement and test C++ changes in detection, tracking, fusion, localization support, data pipelines, or AI/ML-enabled perception workflows. * Work with real and simulated EO/IR, camera, radar, IMU, GPS, or other sensor data to evaluate performance and failure modes. * Build tests, metrics, analysis scripts, and visualizations to make algorithm behavior measurable and repeatable. * Support integration of perception outputs with autonomy behaviors, mission systems, and operator interfaces under defined contracts. * Debug data quality, timing, coordinate frames, software interfaces, and model or algorithm behavior with guidance as needed. * Participate in simulation, lab...
