Job Description: Shield AI’s mission is to protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems. The Hivemind Solutions Test Department brings this mission to life by integrating and validating autonomy across a range of unmanned aircraft systems, from small Group 1 platforms up to larger Group 5 aircraft.  We are seeking a Senior Autonomy Integration & Test Engineer who thrives as a multidisciplinary builder and operator — someone who can take systems from concept and benchtop integration all the way through flight test and field deployment. This role is deeply hands-on and spans hardware, software, autonomy, networking, and flight operations across Group 1 and Group 2 aircraft. You will work across simulation, SIL, HIL, VIL, and live flight environments to solve complex real-world problems, rapidly iterate on evolving systems, and ensure Hivemind autonomy performs reliably in operational conditions.  This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and enjoys digging into complex system issues across flight controllers, radios, communication interfaces and autonomy. You will play a key role in bridging software, hardware, and flight operations while helping scale our testing capabilities.
