Job Description:

Join Shield AI’s Hivemind SDK State Estimation and Vision team to build the tools that help engineers develop, understand, and validate autonomous navigation systems. You will turn complex sensor data and estimator behavior into reproducible experiments, clear diagnostics, and actionable performance insights.

Your work will span data ingestion, sensor replay, visualization, calibration workflows, automated evaluation, and regression testing. Working closely with state estimation, vision, simulation, and flight test engineers, you will shorten the path from discovering an issue in real-world data to understanding its cause and validating a fix.
