Follow Shield AI on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube. Job Description:Join Shield AI’s Hivemind autonomy team, where we are pushing the boundaries of assured navigation and autonomous flight. As a Senior Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, developing, integrating, testing, and deploying cutting-edge navigation and state estimation algorithms within our Hivemind SDK. We are seeking engineers with a strong foundation in state estimation theory and practical experience deploying robust, real-time solutions in commercial robotics, SLAM, or related autonomy applications.\nWhat you'll do:Research and develop state-of-the-art state estimation and navigation algorithms to enable resilient autonomy in challenging GPS-denied environments. Design and deploy production-grade C++ software for embedded robotic systems operating in dynamic, real-world environments. Build and maintain rigorous unit, integration, and system-level tests to ensure system robustness and safety. Develop and enhance modeling, calibration, and simulation tools for inertial and vision-based navigation systems. Contribute to roadmap planning, feature decomposition, and agile execution alongside a multidisciplinary team of autonomy engineers. Continuously enhance performance analysis, benchmarking, and validation pipelines to drive rapid innovation and improvement. Required qualifications:M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science or a related field;  Minimum 2+ years of related professional work experience if you have an M.S degree or 0 years if you have a new Ph.D graduate.Professional proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer) and strong object-oriented design skills. Hands-on experience deploying low-latency C++ applications to embedded Linux platforms. Professional experience designing and implementing state estimation algorithms (e.g., EKF, UKF, Graph-based optimization). Familiarity with VIO, SLAM, or multi-sensor fusion frameworks (e.g., gtsam, Ceres, OpenVINS). Strong working knowledge of CI pipelines and automated testing frameworks for C++. Ability to independently deploy high-reliability code suitable for real-world autonomous systems. Familiarity with prototyping in Python or MATLAB is welcome, but this role demands professional C++ production deployment skills. Candidates whose primary experience is in MATLAB or Python are unlikely to find this position a good fit.Preferred qualifications:Deep understanding of graph-based optimization for state estimation. Experience developing vision-aided inertial navigation systems (VINS, VIO). Experience with navigation sensor calibration (IMU, GPS, barometers, magnetometers, laser altimeters). Experience in benchmarking and system validation for real-world navigation performance. \n$228,000 - $342,000 a year\n#LI-KC3#LEFull-time regular employee offer package: 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)Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location. All offers are contingent on a cleared background and possible reference check. Military fellows and part-time employees are not eligible for benefits.
