The Human Machine Teaming (HMT) Group within Hivemind Solutions’ Strategic Product Development department at Shield AI is hiring an Engineer II or Senior Engineer to build out our developer experience and development capabilities.
At Shield AI, HMT refers to the design, development, management, and assurance of the adaptive relationships between end users and the systems they operate—not just an interface problem, or a function-allocation exercise.
As part of the HMT group, this role will work with SDK and HMI development teams and product managers across Shield AI to enable effective product design, and to ensure the end product will satisfy customer and market needs before its developed. Working alongside the HMT Design, Experimentation, and Operations Leads, you will interact with developers as a user population.
You will elicit how they build, evaluate, and deploy autonomy using SDK tools such as Forge and Commander, and characterize the requirements their tooling has to meet. You are the conduit between the engineers who build development tools and HMIs, the HMT capabilities that define what effective teaming requires, and the customers whose operational needs we serve.
If you have developed software yourself and would rather raise the HMT quality of everything the organization ships than own a single service, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.
