Top Engineering Jobs

Support environmental and stress testing, failure analysis, and reliability assessments for VBAT flight hardware. Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and suppliers to implement design-for-reliability practices, participate in FMEAs and design reviews, analyze test and field data, and develop corrective actions and process improvements. Use data tools (e.g., Python) and occasionally travel to support testing or supplier engagements.

Design, implement, and deploy real-time state estimation and sensor-fusion algorithms for autonomous UAVs (IMU, GNSS, visual odometry, radar). Build robust sensor pipelines, conduct simulation/lab/field testing, optimize for constrained hardware, and collaborate across autonomy, software, and hardware teams to transition research into fielded navigation solutions.

Integrate autonomy software onto unmanned aircraft, prepare and validate flight-ready systems, support on-site flight tests, debug hardware/software integration, capture and analyze flight data, collaborate with autonomy/GNC/systems teams, improve integration processes, and assist with certification and compliance. Travel ~30-40% for tests and field events.

Design, analyze, and validate aircraft power electronics (HV/LV systems, DC-DC converters, inverters, motor controllers, battery/BMS). Own full hardware lifecycle: modeling, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, testing (HALT), verification, and cross-functional collaboration. Lead design reviews and manage program timelines to meet aerospace reliability and manufacturability standards.

Develop, integrate, and field autonomy software on unmanned platforms; own end-to-end integration from simulation to live tests; debug embedded/latency-sensitive systems; support on-site flight/sea/space tests; ensure C2 interoperability and improve deployment/test tooling and processes.

Design, implement, and own tactical autonomy behaviors for unmanned platforms. Develop and test multi-agent coordination, motion and behavior planning, target engagement, and survivability features. Work across the software lifecycle, integrate with sensor, estimation, communications, and control systems, contribute to shared frameworks, and support platform integration and testing (travel up to 20%).

Deploy and integrate Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy software with customers worldwide, provide technical support and training, develop autonomy applications using the Shield AI SDK, assist sales and post-sales activities, debug API integrations, create documentation, and lead cross-functional technical delivery in complex environments.

Paid full-time co-op for rising 2027 graduates to work on autonomous aircraft hardware. Own a tailored project (PCB design, power electronics, avionics bring-up, testing/HALT), collaborate with senior engineers, and contribute to prototype development, validation, and reliability testing.

Plan, execute, and analyze ground and flight test campaigns for manned/unmanned aircraft. Develop test plans, coordinate pre/flight/post activities, collect telemetry, troubleshoot systems, validate requirements, document results, and improve test processes while supporting maintenance and range operations.

Design and optimize tooling, fixtures, and assembly processes for advanced composite airframes. Develop SOPs and work instructions, collaborate with design/quality/production, perform RCCA, ensure aerospace standards compliance, and support efficient prototype and production manufacturing.
