Shield AI is an American defence technology company founded in 2015 that builds autonomy software and uncrewed aircraft for military missions. Its Hivemind autonomy stack lets aircraft fly, navigate and complete objectives without GPS, a remote pilot or a communications link, which matters in contested environments where those links are jammed. Headquartered in San Diego, California, the company fields the V-BAT vertical take-off aircraft with United States and allied forces, licenses Hivemind to other manufacturers and is developing the X-BAT jet for high-end missions.

Job Description:

We are seeking for talented embedded software engineers with good skills in C++ in embedded systems to join our X-BAT Embedded Software Team focused on developing complex avionics software that merges hardware and embedded applications for cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).

The Embedded Software Engineer II works in a high pace environment with a cross-functional team, working closely with experienced engineers, to design and develop software systems which utilize modern aerospace sensors, state-of-the-art UAV avionics.

What you'll do:

  • Develop high-quality C/C++ code tailored specifically for X-Bat aircraft, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and safety.
  • Participate in design, code reviews and test.
  • Integrate software from multiple departments to include firmware, software test and verification, Autonomy AI, and Ground Control Stations (GCS)
  • Develop software systems to implement and integrate interfaces to modern avionics sensors, sub-systems, and payloads
  • Use modern software development tools and processes to capture our existing architecture and design future architectures
  • Report status, risks, accomplishments, expectations to senior leadership
  • Design and implement systems capable of conducting tests across various environments, including virtualized hardware and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, to facilitate thorough evaluation of software functionality and performance.
  • Develop innovative tools to enhance the frequency and reliability of software deployment, test execution, and data analysis within a continuous integration and release system, fostering improved efficiency and productivity in software development workflows.
  • Create prototypes to validate critical design concepts and assess technical limitations, providing tangible evidence of feasibility and informing decision-making processes.

Required qualifications:

  • Evidence of professional embedded software development in C/C++.
  • Good understand of Oriented Object Programming and modern C++ features.
  • Good knowledge of embedded software, BSPs or other systems software components.
  • Good understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, and network protocols fundamentals.
  • Demonstrated leadership and ownership skills.
