Shield AI is hiring a manager for its Autonomy Capabilities team, a central technical group building decision-making software for single- and multi-agent platforms. The role owns technical delivery, team health and hiring, while staying involved in architecture and design decisions. Work spans motion planning, tactical behaviors, track fusion, weapons-target assignment and perception-aware decision-making, for small air- or ground-launched platforms often operating air-gapped. Delivery runs from rapid prototyping through software- and hardware-in-the-loop to live test exercises. The posting seeks someone balancing technical depth with people leadership and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
