Autonomy Engineer- Behavior and Motion Planning (R6007) at Shield AI scores 90 out of 100 on AI centrality, which makes it AI Level 4 of 4 (Builds AI) on this board. The level measures how much of the work is AI, not seniority.
AI in this role
Develop, deploy, and optimize path planning and behavior algorithms for autonomous systems and robotics.
Job Description:
The Pilot team develops the algorithms and production software that enable intelligent systems to decide what to do and how to do it in uncertain, dynamic environments. Our work spans mission and task planning, motion planning, effects and action planning, and learned planning approaches. Depending on the team, you may work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, optimization, and real-time autonomous systems.
As a member of Behavior and Motion planning team, you will leverage your expertise in robotics to develop, deploy, and optimize path planning algorithms for autonomous systems that operate in complex, real-world environments. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions that advance the state of Hivemind SDK. You will also contribute to developing technical requirements, test plans, and validating the performance of algorithms.
We are hiring software engineers across multiple experience levels. The scope of the role will be calibrated to the candidate's experience, from implementing and validating well-defined planning components to owning major technical capabilities, shaping architecture and roadmaps, and mentoring other engineers.

Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Robotics, Motion Planning, Path Planning, Algorithms, and Autonomous Systems. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
