Description
Job Description:
Shield AI's Australian engineering team brings together Hivemind Vision, which develops AI-enabled computer vision and wide-area motion imagery capabilities, and Hivemind Solutions, which integrates Hivemind autonomy onto unmanned systems (UxS) and customer platforms. As Senior Manager, Engineering, you will build and lead the functions that make this work dependable and deliverable across both teams: Systems Engineering, Software Test, and Quality Process Engineering.
You will own the systems engineering and assurance processes that shape how the Australian team delivers products, from early architecture decisions through integration, flight test, and release. You will set technical direction, define process, develop leaders, and ensure the engineering evidence behind every release is clear, traceable, and trusted by customers, partners, and Shield AI's global engineering teams.
This role spans both Hivemind Vision and Hivemind Solutions and works closely with perception, autonomy, integration, flight test, program management, and international engineering teams. The ideal candidate has defence, aerospace, or autonomy experience and a proven track record of building engineering processes that teams adopt and customers value.
