Job Description:

The Hivemind Solutions HIL Infrastructure and Test Engineering Team is seeking an Integration Engineer II to develop and test the systems that bring Hivemind mission autonomy and vision capabilities onto real aircraft. You'll build Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) infrastructure, develop automated tests, and validate mission autonomy software in HIL and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) environments. You'll also support vision system development through HIL testing and hands on integration of imaging sensors, onboard processing, camera pods, and gimbals for crewed and uncrewed aircraft. Working across software, electrical, and mechanical disciplines, you'll own integration and test tasks from setup through validation, collaborating with experienced engineers to resolve issues and prepare systems for ground and flight testing. We're looking for someone who enjoys building and debugging complex systems, embraces learning, and takes ownership of delivering reliable results.
