Shield AI is hiring a senior staff engineer for its Autonomy Capabilities Team, which builds software that automates single- and multi-agent teams of vehicles across air, sea and space domains. The role spans the command-and-control hierarchy — control laws, motion planning, tactical behaviors, multi-agent coordination — and calls for blending control theory with optimization, then integrating results into real platforms. The posting stresses both fundamentals (kinematics and dynamics, trajectory design, information fusion) and software integration skills such as threading, protocols and interface management. Work is on-site in Washington, D.C.
