Top Engineering Jobs

Develop, integrate, debug, and test autonomy software across unmanned aircraft and autonomous platforms. Build tools, automation, telemetry pipelines, and test infrastructure using C++ and Python. Support software bring-up, simulation, hardware and flight testing, field demonstrations, mission readiness, operational troubleshooting, and post-flight analysis. The role primarily supports operations in Kyiv, Ukraine, with occasional travel within Ukraine.

Own the V-BAT unmanned aircraft system reliability model and failure-prediction strategy. Build fault trees, analyze field and test data, identify single points of failure, guide design-for-reliability decisions, lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions, manage reliability testing and production screening, and track MTBF, failure-rate trends, and reliability growth for leadership.

Leads development of high-performance C++ software, real-time and distributed simulation systems, and complex software and hardware integrations. Architects scalable systems-of-systems solutions, establishes technical standards, mentors engineers, and leads projects with 10 or more contributors. Responsibilities include debugging, optimization, agile development, continuous integration, test-driven development, task decomposition, and collaboration across teams.

Deploys, integrates, maintains, and develops AI training factory components in isolated environments. Responsibilities include integrating tooling onto hardware, managing software updates and configuration across environments, ensuring platform reliability, coordinating with autonomy teams, troubleshooting distributed systems, and developing automation. The role requires cloud, Kubernetes, Linux networking, C++ or Python application support, and onsite availability in London.

Lead the architecture and implementation of Shield AI’s knowledge-graph-centered data platform. Build production APIs, DataOps infrastructure, storage and compute integrations, ingestion paths, SDKs, and reference architectures. Establish data-modeling, schema evolution, lineage, observability, security, reliability, and lifecycle standards. Partner with autonomy, ML, testing, infrastructure, product, and customer teams while evaluating technologies and remaining hands-on with implementation, benchmarking, and debugging across cloud and customer-managed environments.

Leads engineering teams developing and deploying autonomy solutions for unmanned weapon systems. Owns system architecture, technical objectives, engineering decisions, risk mitigation, product quality, technical requirements, system documentation, and software delivery. Provides technical oversight for internal R&D and defense contracts, supports customer-facing engineering leadership, contributes to government proposals, and manages teams of 6–20 engineers.

Conducts environmental reliability testing on electronic flight hardware, including thermal, humidity, vibration, shock, HALT, and HASS testing. Develops test plans, fixtures, procedures, instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and reports. Operates and improves the environmental test lab, investigates failures, manages equipment and consumables, coordinates external laboratories, and advises stakeholders on test and design-for-reliability practices.

Support quality planning and inspections for X-BAT weapons system hardware and subsystems. Develop and maintain quality documentation, lead root cause analysis and corrective actions, manage nonconformances and supplier quality, analyze defect trends, ensure compliance with aerospace/defense standards, and collaborate across manufacturing, test, engineering, and supply chain to improve product reliability and process capability.

Design and develop mechanical and actuated systems for autonomous UAVs, owning concept-to-production CAD, kinematic and structural analysis, FEA, prototyping, testing, and cross-functional integration to meet performance, schedule, and reliability goals.

Deploy and integrate Shield AIs Hivemind autonomy software with customers worldwide. Provide on-site technical support, training, debugging, and documentation. Collaborate with sales and product engineering to support pre- and post-sales activities and improve autonomy products.
