Object Tracking Algorithm Developer, Shield AI

• Extreme proficiency in modern C++ and object-oriented design patterns
• Professional experience deploying state estimation algorithms (KF, EKF, UKF)
• Demonstrated track record developing innovative solutions to modern multi-target tracking problems
• While familiarity with MATLAB for prototyping and algorithm development is useful, this role demands extensive experience and confidence in deploying production-level code exclusively in C++
• Experience with continuous integration (CI) pipelines and automated testing frameworks in C++

Desirable

• As a senior member within the Hivemind autonomy team, you will join an ambitious effort to rapidly design, develop, integrate, test, and deploy the multi-target tracking stack for the Hivemind Pilot product line
• You will bring a wealth of expertise in the theory of object tracking (e.g., optimal state estimation, sensor integration, data fusion, statistical inference, dynamics modeling) but also expert-level proficiency in modern C++ to personally develop and deploy these algorithms into production
• You will collaborate with other autonomy developers and members of the product development team to guide and drive the maturation of the multi-target tracking stack, personally developing features in modern C++ from the ground up, and validating performance through rigorous simulation studies, hardware-in-the-loop efforts, and flight test campaigns
• You will play a significant role in advancing the state of the art in AI pilot technology for resilient autonomous systems, providing critical capabilities to our service members and allies
• Research and develop world-class object tracking and data association algorithms
• Write production-quality tracking software in C++ that will be deployed on military platforms, ensuring robustness, efficiency, and scalability
• Develop and maintain comprehensive unit, integration, and system tests to validate your software
• Enhance sensor models within a state-of-the-art simulation environment
• Collaborate with other team members on product roadmap development, feature decomposition, and capacity planning within an agile development framework
• Work in a fast-paced, collaborative, continuous development environment, enhancing analysis and benchmarking capabilities
