Description
Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems.
The HMS Perception team develops sensor-processing, vision, tracking, sensor-fusion, and AI/ML capabilities that provide reliable information to autonomous systems. As an Engineer II, you will deliver bounded perception features and evaluation improvements using established technical direction.
Responsibilities:
- 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, and field-test preparation and post-test analysis for assigned work.
- Document design assumptions, evaluation results, and issues; collaborate with perception, autonomy, platform, and test teammates.
Requirements:
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field, graduating between December 2026 and August 2027.
- Typically 2+ years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree, or equivalent work experience; relevant graduate work or substantial project experience may be considered.
- Working proficiency in C++ or Python for perception, robotics, AI/ML, or data-processing software.
- Experience with Linux, Git, software testing, and data analysis.
- Applied experience through work, research, or substantial projects in computer vision, tracking, sensor fusion, estimation, robotics, or machine learning.
- Ability to complete a bounded feature or evaluation task, interpret results, and communicate limitations or risks.
- Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with EO/IR, radar, cameras, or other mission sensors and their calibration or coordinate frames.
- Familiarity with OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ROS, DDS, or similar tools.
- Experience with simulation, SIL/HIL, embedded deployment, automated evaluation, or field data analysis.
Benefits:
- Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
- Temporary employee offer package: Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
