Staff Engineer Modeling Simulation R

About the role

At Shield AI, the Aircraft Simulation team turns frontier autonomy into mission-ready aircraft. The team owns the commit-to-flight pipeline, including deterministic aircraft and mission simulation, HITL/SITL integration, CI/CD, and tooling for automated flight qualification testing.

As a Staff Modeling & Simulation Engineer, you will contribute to modeling and simulation tooling for Shield AI’s next-generation aircraft program. The work includes designing and building aircraft subsystem models, developing infrastructure for automated testing of the next-generation XBAT product line, and conducting system performance analysis.

Responsibilities

• Develop models and infrastructure for the integrated simulation pipeline in C++.
• Design deterministic, high-performance simulation tools for faster-than-real-time execution in development, testing, and release.
• Implement test scenarios and write unit, system, and regression tests.
• Collaborate across autonomy, embedded, GNC, and test engineering to ensure simulation mirrors real aircraft behavior and mission scenarios.
• Contribute to platform-agnostic simulation tooling for current and future aircraft design and development efforts.
• Perform verification and validation analysis activities on modeling tools.
• Conduct system performance analysis and generate reports and visualizations.
• Utilize best practices in C++.
