UAS Software Engineer, Senior
The Opportunity:

As a UAS Sof t war e Engineer spe cia lizing in AI autonomy, you will design, develop, and deploy machine learning models that power intelligent behaviors on unmanned aircraft systems. You will work with advanced autonomy frameworks, including platforms such as Hivemind developed by Shield AI, to build resilient navigation, perception, targeting, and collaborative autonomy capabilities for Army and joint clients.

You will operate at the cutting edge of edge AI, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and real-time embedded systems, helping the Army transition from human-in-the-loop control to AI-assisted and autonomous mission execution.

What You'll Do:
  • Develop reinforcement learning and autonomy algorithms for navigation and mission execution.
  • Implement sensor fusion models combining EO / IR, LiDAR, GPS-denied navigation, and tele met ry data.
  • Optimize AI models for deployment on edge compute platforms such as GPU, TPU, and embedded systems.
  • Implement mission planning logic and adaptive decision-making algorithms.
  • Build simulation-based training pipelines for autonomy validation.
  • Deploy containerized AI models to airborne and ground edge nodes.
  • Optimize inference latency and resource utilization.
  • C ond uct hard war e-in-the-loop ( HIL ) and sof t war e-in-the-loop ( SIL ) testing.
  • Integrate AI outputs into tactical networks and mission command systems.


Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:
  • 3+ years of experience with design and train machine learning models for perception, object detection, tracking, and classification
