Shield AI has been redefining autonomous aviation with cutting-edge AI and GPS/RF-denied navigation technologies for the past few years. Now, we’re building a next-generation aircraft like no other, X-BAT. A jet engine equipped VTOL aircraft, operating via Hivemind autonomy - breaking the boundaries of group 5 aircraft operations in comms-denied combat environments. 
We’re looking for an excellent software engineer, well versed in vehicle integration & testing, to lead X-BAT software’s testing strategy and infrastructure development. For software components ranging from autonomy, embedded systems, ground control applications, and more – you will enable integration testing, own release campaigns, most importantly build the automated testing infrastructure for X-BAT commit-to-flight pipeline.  
This is an opportunity to modern the defense aviation industry – setting the standard and building the capabilities required for rapid & qualified aircraft software releases - to active mission operations. Your role will center around designing scalable test infrastructure, validating mission-critical behaviors in simulation across operational environments, and enabling rapid but safe deployments of software to flight operations. You’ll need to be a technical expert and an extreme-owner – passionate in building aircraft software safelyand dedicated in our mission to do so quickly.  

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
  • Architect & lead development of a system that integrates simulation, HIL solutions, and CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing - used by developers and test engineers daily to drive continuous software releases 
  • Implement software interfaces and drivers to orchestrate simulation environments, hardware devices, and test equipment – enabling real-world behaviors, failure injection, and hardware manipulation to validate safety-critical software 
  • Define and execute release test plans leading up to flight test events and major milestones, adopt them into automated CI pipelines 
  • Build and sustain tools to optimize requirements-traceability between code and automated tests. 
  • Work cross-functionally across Aircraft Autonomy & Software teams to derive requirements for the aircraft system, test infrastructure, and release gates. Partner with our hardware engineering team to define and obtain the hardware infrastructure we need. 


  • REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Typically,7+ years of related experience with a BS degree (CE, CS, EE, or equivalent); or5+ years with a MS or PhD degree 
  • Excellent proficiency in Python or C++, ideally for automate testing of software integrated with hardware 
  • Demonstrated capability in building continuous integration testing solutions, using CI/CD pipelines, simulation, and/or hardware-in-the-loop solutions 
  • Excellent understanding of software testing and quality assurance, with or without perfect system requirements. 
  • Experience testing real-time systems, avionics, or vehicle software 
  • Ability to work independently in fast-paced environments, on complex challenges warranting cross-discipline collaboration 
  • Track record of impressive accomplishments and technical contributions 


  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • 3+ years building automated test solutions for aircraft or autonomous vehicles 
  • Experience with requirements-traceability and building moderns tools to optimize the processes required for airworthiness, DO-178C, or similar. 
  • Direct experience leading software releases or flight test campaigns for aircraft or autonomous vehicles
