Hivemind consists of four products: EdgeOS (C++ based high-performance middleware for autonomy development), Pilot (autonomy for the edge built atop EdgeOS; a models-based, modular and open architecture C++ codebase), Forge (Shield AI's AI Factory for the design, development, and testing of Hivemind Edge systems; a service-oriented architecture leveraged through an SDK, CLI, and web portal; a Go, Python, Typescript codebase), Commander (Software and hardware to support rich human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop interactions with the Hivemind; a C++ based back-end for interaction with Pilot; and a web-application UI for mission planning, command and control by operators implemented in a Typescript/React codebase). \n \nThe Special Projects team is chartered to operate effectively in ambiguity. This team owns a number of software and software/hardware products, and it tactically and strategically impacts the development of all foundational Hivemind products. This work happens should-to-shoulder with the product teams in some cases, and in a forward-sprinting manner within the Special Projects team in other cases. The result is direct contribution to products in the former, and development of reference implementations in the latter. \n \nThe Special Projects team also functions as a pipeline for product and solution engineering teams across the organization. Individuals who enter the Special Projects team rapidly gain depth and breadth in their understanding of the Hivemind software ecosystem. This positions them well for leading technology development effort across the product and solution organization. \n \nThis role is expected to contribute to commercial applications of Hivemind Enterprise.\n","hostedUrl":"https://jobs.lever.co/shieldai/f348563f-a5c9-4bbf-92eb-94fbcb64c14e","applyUrl":"https://jobs.lever.co/shieldai/f348563f-a5c9-4bbf-92eb-94fbcb64c14e/apply"},{"additionalPlain":"#LI-AA1\n#LC\n\n\nFull-time regular employee offer package: \nPay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity \n\nTemporary employee offer package: \nPay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)\n\nSalary 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.

\n
\n
\n
We are seeking a Principal Engineer that will scale an initial architecture into a platform that supports multiple autonomy programs.
\n
\n
\n
Success in this role requires disciplined execution, delivering fast iteration for engineering teams while maintaining reliability, cost control, and architectural consistency as the system scales.
\n
\n
\n
The Principal Engineer is accountable for ensuring engineers can move efficiently from idea to trained model to deployed capability, and that infrastructure decisions reflect the realities of the domain, including simulation-driven development, continuously evolving multi-modal sensor data, and deployment to constrained and reliability-critical systems.
\n
\n
\n
This role spans the full lifecycle of autonomy development, training foundation models, running large-scale and multi-fidelity simulation, managing training data, evaluating models, and deploying optimized models to edge systems.
\n
\n
\n
A key part of this role is defining how these capabilities extend beyond internal use. This includes establishing how Shield AI delivers AI infrastructure in customer environments across on-premise, cloud, hybrid, and sovereign or nationally constrained environments.

Job Description:
\nShield AI is seeking a highly experienced CNC Programmer / Machinist (Level 4) to play a critical role in the development of next-generation autonomous aerospace systems. This position operates at the intersection of engineering and manufacturing, enabling rapid hardware iteration by transforming complex digital designs into precision-machined components—often under aggressive timelines and evolving requirements.
\n
\nAs part of a fast-paced prototype machining environment, you will work directly with design, manufacturing, and test engineers to bring early-stage concepts to life. Unlike traditional production roles, this position emphasizes adaptability, creativity, and speed. You will routinely machine first-of-their-kind parts, refine processes in real time, and contribute to design decisions through hands-on feedback and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) insights.
\n
\nSuccess in this role requires deep technical expertise in multi-axis CNC machining, along with the judgment to balance precision, efficiency, and urgency. You will be expected to independently manage complex jobs from programming through final inspection, while also navigating shifting priorities and incomplete data. The ability to problem-solve on the fly—whether addressing tolerance challenges, optimizing toolpaths, or developing quick-turn fixturing—is essential.
