Job Description

Job Description:

The Human Machine Teaming (HMT) Group at Shield AI is hiring an Engineer II or Senior Engineer to join our HMT Experimentation 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.

Working alongside the HMT Experimentation Lead, who owns HMT experimentation, research, and assessment, you will assist in establishing the HMT Experimentation Lab and help run the applied research and development (R&D) program behind our HMT design decisions. You will test whether collaborative work requirement profiles—the adaptive relationships—hold in practice, and conduct robustness testing that establishes where teaming works, degrades, and approaches failure.

If rigorous applied HMT-specific experimentation on in-development and fielded autonomous systems is what you want, 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.
