Software Engineer I, Autonomy & Simulation Tools

Shield; San Diego (CA); In loco; USD 79.000 - 110.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Shield AI is seeking a Software Engineer I to join the HMS Factory Team. You will build and maintain Python-based tooling for analyzing simulation data, logs, and performance metrics, and contribute to test automation, scenario generation, and data-driven analysis of AI Pilot behaviors.

This hands-on role emphasizes autonomy, simulation, and scalable testing infrastructure. You’ll gain exposure to containerized workflows (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and distributed test orchestration under

Competenze

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• Foundational Python development experience from coursework, internships, or projects.
• Familiarity with Python scripting, automation, and data processing using NumPy, Pandas, or similar.
• Familiarity with Linux development environments and basic shell scripting.
• Understanding of Git-based version control, code review, automated testing, and debugging.
• Exposure to automated testing, CI/CD systems, simulation environments, robotics, data pipelines, or developer tooling.
• Basic understanding of container concepts with Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes.
• Ability to obtain and maintain an active U.S. SECRET security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required.

Mansioni

• Develop, test, and maintain Python scripts and libraries to analyze simulation data and extract metrics.
• Support tooling to process simulation outputs, telemetry, rosbags, and test artifacts.
• Build and maintain automated test workflows and wrappers around internal test tools.
• Develop program-specific test adapters, configuration files, and automation utilities in Python and C++ when needed.
• Contribute to scenario-generation tools that create varied simulation conditions for testing autonomy.
• Write domain-randomization scripts that vary environmental and sensor parameters across tests.
• Investigate test failures by reviewing logs, telemetry, rosbags, and test results.
• Improve repeatability by maintaining reusable test templates, utilities, and reporting outputs.
• Assist with containerized development and testing environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and related tooling.
• Contribute to deployment configurations with Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, or similar.
• Support source control practices, CI/CD pipelines, and software build troubleshooting.
• Create developer documentation, setup guides, API references, and example workflows.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and collaborative debugging with multiple teams.
