Staff Perception Engineer, Target Tracking (SD or DC)

Shield AI is seeking a Staff Perception Engineer to join their Hivemind autonomy team, focusing on multi-target tracking systems for military applications. This role combines advanced computer vision, state estimation, and real-time software development for defense applications. The position involves developing sophisticated tracking algorithms and implementing them in production-quality C++ code. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in object tracking theory and modern C++ programming, working on critical systems for military platforms. This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge autonomous systems, implementing advanced algorithms for EO/IR tracking systems, and contributing to innovative solutions in defense technology. The role offers competitive compensation and the chance to work with state-of-the-art technology in either San Diego or Washington DC. The position requires a strong background in both theoretical aspects of tracking algorithms and practical software implementation, making it ideal for someone who wants to bridge the gap between advanced algorithmic development and real-world deployment.
