Shield AI has been redefining autonomous aviation with cutting-edge AI and GPS/RF-denied navigation technologies for the past few years.
We’re looking for a software engineer, well versed in development and testing, to help continue building V-BAT's test operations, specifically automation capabilities and tools used to test software components ranging from autonomy, embedded systems, ground control applications, and more – you will gather requirements and write software to automate them.
This is an opportunity to build and solve problems defense primes are unwilling to. You’ll be supported by world-class engineers, but you’re expected to learn on the job and deliver weekly – you’ll need to be hungry and motivated to grow!

  • Define test cases to verify and validate embedded or GNC software at a system level, automating them to run continuously
  • Implement software interfaces and drivers to orchestrate simulation environments, hardware devices, and test equipment – enabling real-world behaviors, failure injection, and hardware manipulation for various test scenarios
  • Quickly prototype solutions using software & hardware to unblock testing, harden your prototype into scalable products for continuous release testing
  • Support release test planning and execution leading up to flight test events and major product milestones
  • REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • 2+ years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree (CE, CS, EE); or some industry experience (intern, startup, self-projects) with a Master’s or PhD degree
  • Strong C++ or Python skills, basic proficiency in the other
  • Familiarity with common version control (git) and build/packaging systems (CMake, Poetry, etc)
  • Passion for growth, fast-paced environments, and holding self to a high standard of excellence
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of related experience building automated test solutions
  • Experience building automated test solutions for aircraft of autonomous vehicles
  • Experience in automated testing, bare-metal firmware development, or simulation tooling
