Shield AI's Human Machine Teaming group is hiring an Engineer II or Senior Engineer for its HMT Design capability in Washington, D.C. The work covers how operators and Hivemind-enabled mission autonomy relate: gathering HMT requirements across use cases, identifying context factors that moderate them, and turning baselines into context-sensitive design patterns that support adaptivity. Working with the HMT Design Lead, the engineer also helps design scenarios, refine test procedures, and write HMI feature requests. The posting presents HMT as a distinct discipline rather than interface or function-allocation work.
