Job Description:
Shield AI’s Hivemind Detection, Tracking, and Mapping (DTM) team develops perception capabilities that allow autonomous systems to understand objects, motion, sensors, and terrain across air, maritime, and ground domains. We are seeking a Staff Engineer to develop these capabilities from algorithms and production C++ libraries through integration, verification, and delivery in the Hivemind SDK.
This is a full-stack perception product-development role. You will bring depth in at least one core area such as object detection, object tracking, computer vision, image processing, sensor modeling, or sensor fusion, and work comfortably across adjacent parts of the stack. You will help turn prototypes, research, and partner-developed technology into reusable, configurable, well-tested product capabilities.
