      <Title>Staff Engineer, Software Integration</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>Are you a passionate and innovative engineer looking to help develop state-of-the-art AI and robotics products? Shield AI is just the place for you!</p>
<p>The Hivemind Quality team is committed to ensuring our autonomy platform delivers a seamless developer experience and enables customers to build world-class autonomous systems. We focus on integrating, validating, and continuously improving the Hivemind ecosystem,spanning autonomy behaviours, sensor processing, multi-agent coordination, ground-control systems, and embedded platforms.</p>
<p><strong>Responsibilities:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Become a systems integration expert for autonomous robotics: Develop deep expertise in our AI-powered autonomy stack.</li>
<li>Learn to configure, deploy, and integrate multi-agent systems across simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and flight platforms.</li>
<li>Understand the full system end-to-end,from sensor inputs to autonomous behaviours.</li>
<li>Integrate new capabilities into the autonomy stack: Collaborate cross-functionally with development teams to bring autonomy algorithms, perception pipelines, middleware, and platform interfaces into the integrated product. Ensure seamless interoperability between components.</li>
<li>Enable platform bring-up and validation: Lead the integration of autonomy software onto new robotic hardware platforms.</li>
<li>Configure sensor drivers, communication interfaces, and platform adapters to enable full autonomy stack functionality on prototype and production vehicles.</li>
<li>Develop integration tooling &amp; infrastructure: Architect and implement integration frameworks, deployment scripts, and configuration management tools that streamline bringing new capabilities into Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and flight environments.</li>
<li>Support cross-platform compatibility: Work with other integration engineers to ensure the autonomy stack operates reliably across all supported platforms, operating systems, and deployment configurations. Identify and resolve integration issues across system boundaries.</li>
<li>Analyze system behaviour and root-cause issues: Evaluate system logs, telemetry, and rosbag data to diagnose integration defects. Collaborate with developers to isolate issues to specific subsystems and drive resolution. Create analysis tooling to accelerate debugging.</li>
<li>Optimise integration workflows and CI/CD: Partner with DevOps teams to streamline integration pipelines, reduce build-to-deploy cycle times, and ensure robust continuous integration of new features. Define integration checkpoints and criteria for release readiness.</li>
<li>Validate system requirements and interface contracts: Work with engineers to ensure integrated capabilities meet product requirements and interface specifications. Assist in developing tooling to verify end-to-end system compliance and traceability.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Typically requires a minimum of 7 years of related experience with a bachelor’s degree in CS, Comp Eng, Robotics, or a related field; or 6 years and a master’s degree; or 4 years with a PhD.</li>
<li>Proficiency in programming languages including Python or C++.</li>
<li>Experience with autonomous systems or server applications or middleware.</li>
<li>Demonstrated experience designing integration workflows, communicating system dependencies, and triaging and reporting integration defects across subsystem boundaries.</li>
<li>Proficiency with simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments.</li>
<li>Strong expertise with CI/CD pipelines.</li>
<li>Strong problem-solving skills and a proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions.</li>
<li>Excellent communication skills, capable of collaborating effectively across various teams and presenting to customers or technical leadership.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Preferences:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Demonstrated experience building complex systems with a strong understanding of software architecture and design principles.</li>
<li>Experience with hardware or embedded systems.</li>
<li>Expert knowledge of Python.</li>
<li>Experience with ROS.</li>
<li>Experience with white box testing</li>
<li>Familiarity with networking, operating-systems, and radio communications.</li>
<li>Experience designing automated tooling for testing for GUI applications.</li>
<li>Experience designing automated tooling for testing server applications.</li>
</ul>
