## About the role

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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- A degree in computer science, software engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience, with a minor in human factors engineering, cognitive systems engineering, or human-computer interaction
- Hands-on software development experience sufficient to earn credibility with engineers, reason about feasibility and cost, and read the code and interfaces under discussion
- Proficiency in Python and C++, and familiarity with at least one other relevant language and tools, such as JavaScript, C#, HMTL, CSS, or docker
- Demonstrated experience eliciting user needs, translating them into design or development requirements that an engineering team implemented, and assessing whether the delivered system met them
- Working knowledge of human machine teaming and human factors concepts, including collaborative work requirements, and ability to reason about operator-autonomy interaction, not screens alone
- Appreciation for the methods and contributions of human factors practitioners, designers, and operators, and the ability to act as a conduit between engineering, HMT, and customer audiences
