Engineer II, Autonomy (R5715)

We’re on the lookout for an Engineer, Autonomy to join our Hivemind Solutions team and help design, build, and deploy real-world autonomous capabilities for uncrewed systems. This is a hands-on engineering role, blending software development with robotics, perception, and path planning. You’ll be joining a high-performing team shaping the future of AI pilots for solving real-world problems.

If you’re a capable C++ developer with a passion for robotics and autonomy, this is your chance to make a real impact.

What you'll do:: As an Autonomy Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, task & motion planning and controls.

Design and implement autonomous behaviours for uncrewed aircraft.

Work with real sensor data and build robust sensor fusion solutions.

Develop and test autonomy systems in high-fidelity software and hardware in-the-loop simulations.

Integrate Shield AI autonomy products together with third-party aircraft and systems.

Collaborate across AI, robotics, and systems engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions.

Contribute to architecture, code quality, design reviews and best practices.
