Job Description:
The Human Machine Teaming (HMT) Group at Shield AI is hiring an Engineer II or Senior Engineer to join our HMT Operations capability. At Shield AI, HMT refers to the design, management, and assurance of the adaptive relationships between operators and Hivemind-enabled mission autonomy—not just an interface problem, or a function-allocation exercise. This role keeps our HMT research and development (R&D) grounded in work as it is actually done, with real operators, under real tempo.
Working alongside the HMT Operations Lead, who owns operator engagement, you will conduct field research with Shield AI pilots, operators, and customer or external subject matter experts (SMEs). You will translate what you find into updates for the collaborative work requirement profiles that our design and experimentation capabilities act upon, and carry HMT expertise into product lines and the field.
If you are equally comfortable in a squadron ready room, on a test range, and in a design review, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.
Full-time regular employee offer package:
Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
Temporary employee offer package:
Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location. All offers are contingent on a cleared background and possible reference check. Military fellows and part-time employees are not eligible for benefits. Please speak to your talent acquisition representative for more information.
