Job Description

Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Its products include Hivemind autonomy software, V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, and Aechelon simulation and synthetic reality technologies. With offices and facilities across the U. S. , Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, Shield AI’s technology actively supports operations worldwide. For more information, visit shield. ai. Follow Shield AI on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube. Job Description: Join Shield AI’s Hivemind SDK State Estimation & Vision team to build deep learning capabilities that help autonomous systems understand their motion and localize in the world when GPS is unavailable or unreliable. You will work at the intersection of deep learning, 3D computer vision, and geometric estimation, developing learned components for vision-based navigation. You will own the model development pipeline—from selecting tools, defining annotation needs, and cleaning data through training, evaluation, integration support, and deployment recommendations. Hands-on experience with Deep Learning and 3D computer vision and geometry is required; prior experience specifically in vision-based navigation is optional. What you'll do: - Develop and evaluate models for tasks such as feature detection and matching, visual correspondence, depth estimation, relative pose estimation, and image-to-map localization. - Combine learned visual representations with geometric methods to improve localization accuracy, robustness, and recovery under challenging conditions. - Own data preparation and supervision strategies, including dataset curation, annotation requirements, labeling tools, automated quality checks, and coverage analysis. - Select and integrate deep learning tools and build reproducible training workflows, including experiment tracking, configuration management, and dataset and model versioning.

- Design evaluations that measure both model performance and downstream localization outcomes across changes in lighting, viewpoint, altitude, terrain, weather, and sensor characteristics. - Analyze failures and use controlled experiments to prioritize improvements to data, supervision, models, and integration. - Partner with state estimation engineers to integrate learned measurements and confidence estimates into VIO and terrain-relative navigation systems. - Profile models against onboard compute, memory, and latency constraints, and work with deployment engineers on optimization and runtime validation. - Deliver tested, documented components and interfaces for Hivemind SDK, collaborating with software, systems, and flight test teams. Required qualifications: - M. S. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field; minimum 4+ years of related professional work experience with an M. S. degree, or 2+ years with a Ph. D. - Hands-on experience designing, training, debugging, and evaluating models using PyTorch or an equivalent framework, including architecture selection, loss design, optimization, and augmentation that preserves geometric consistency. - Strong foundations in camera models, coordinate transformations, projective geometry, and multi-view geometry, with practical experience in one or more fields: vision-based navigation, visual geolocation, Structure from Motion (SfM), SLAM, 3D reconstruction, depth estimation or similar fields. Expertise in every area is not required. - Strong Python skills and experience writing maintainable, reusable software. Demonstrated ability to take a computer vision capability from problem definition and raw data through training, evaluation, and integration readiness. - Experience building pipelines for sensor data ingestion, cleaning, filtering, deduplication, and dataset versioning.
