Top Engineering Jobs

Develop, integrate, and test high-quality embedded C/C++ avionics software for X-BAT UAVs, interfacing with sensors, firmware, autonomy systems, and GCS; design CI/HIL test systems, produce documentation, and collaborate across cross-functional teams.

Develop and validate flight control laws and control-allocation for X-BAT across all flight regimes. Build and use high-fidelity 6DOF simulations, run linear/Monte Carlo/HIL verification, diagnose sim-to-test gaps, and support flight test iterations working with propulsion, aero, sensors, actuation, state estimation, and autonomy teams.

Design, implement, and maintain C++ and Python software for cross-platform, distributed real-time systems. Integrate third-party software/hardware and simulation tools, develop APIs/messaging (gRPC/REST/ZeroMQ), debug threading/timing issues, and improve CI/CD pipelines with Docker, CMake, Conan, and GitLab CI while practicing test-driven development and collaboration.

Perform and validate finite element and hand-calculation structural analyses for UAV airframes and components. Develop FEMs, run static/modal/fatigue/vibration studies, support test planning and correlation, define loads/materials/margins, and present structural recommendations while collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize lightweight aerospace structures.

Lead design and delivery of tactical autonomy and motion-planning software for unmanned platforms. Architect, implement, test, and sustain multi-agent behaviors, integrate with sensors and vehicle systems, and drive product-line reuse and cross-team collaboration throughout the software lifecycle.

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.

Lead architecture, design, and development of precision wire harnesses and cable assemblies for autonomous UAVs. Own 3D CAD routing, analysis, prototypes, and testing. Perform electrical and environmental reliability analysis, integrate with avionics/systems/manufacturing, and mentor engineers to establish harness design best practices.

Own and maintain native C++ build systems for autonomous aircraft. Improve developer velocity by reducing build/test cycle time, integrate CI with HIL and simulation, implement monitoring and alerts, troubleshoot build/test failures, and collaborate with engineers to design and deploy DevEx/DevOps solutions.

Lead and grow the mechanical engineering team for avionics in X-BAT aircraft and ground vehicles. Own architecture, thermal, harnessing, and electro-mechanical design from concept through manufacturing, partnering with electrical, RF, PCB, reliability, supply chain, structures, and manufacturing teams to deliver flight-critical systems.
