## Description

At Shield AI, we are revolutionizing defense technology to protect service members and civilians with intelligent, autonomous systems.

Our Integration Test Engineering team plays a critical role in ensuring the X-BAT remains the most reliable, mission-ready UAV in the industry.

As a Senior Integration Engineer on our Test team, you will own the design and development of test systems that push our hardware to its limits.

## Responsibilities:

- Lead the design, validation, and deployment of advanced test systems for X-BAT’s critical components and subsystems.

- Architect Test Framework Software and test interfaces for power electronics, compute complex, and communication systems.

- Build and maintain scalable test infrastructure and shared libraries, promoting modularity, reusability, and consistency across teams and platforms.

- Automate system provisioning and configuration management to accelerate deployment and maintenance of new test frameworks.

- Develop real-time monitoring and data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana) to deliver actionable insights during test execution and system debugging.

- Lead and participate in design and code reviews, championing sound architectural principles, testability, observability, and reliability throughout the software stack.

- Assure coverage of requirements while balancing exhaustive testing against minimum and sufficient checks as the product and testing mature.

- Own and drive cross-functional design reviews, advocating for design-for-testability (DFT) improvements.

- Work in partnership with HASS, ESS, and HALT testing, validating performance in simulated harsh environments.

- Be a technical mentor, guiding junior engineers and contributing to Shield AI’s growing expertise in system test engineering.

## Requirements:

- B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM field.

- 3+ years of industry experience in Software design and test engineering (or equivalent experience with advanced degrees).

- Deep expertise in electrical design, mechanical, and software engineering principles as applied to system test infrastructure.

- Experience with Linux including Bash scripting and networking.

- Ability to configure and maintain small computer networks.

- Proven ability to design, implement, and validate multidisciplinary test systems in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

- Track record of ownership,driving projects from concept to execution, delivering exceptional results.

- A team-first mindset, with high standards for yourself and others, and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.

## Preferred Qualifications:

- Comfort working with hardware, as the testcases you write will interface with circuit boards, motors, and sensors.

- Experience with Stell, JAMA, DOORS or other system requirements frameworks.

- Experience writing drivers for electronics test equipment.

- Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (Altium, KiCad, Eagle) and CAD software (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA).

- Experience working in rugged, high-reliability industries like aerospace, defense, or automotive.

- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to pivot quickly in dynamic, evolving environments.
