Senior Automated Test Engineer designing and scaling advanced automated testing and CI/CD infrastructure for autonomous unmanned aircraft and robotic platforms. The role involves developing test frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and verification tooling across distributed systems including flight code, simulation environments, ground control stations, and hardware-in-the-loop systems. You will work with Python automation, UI/API testing in Go and TypeScript, GitLab CI/CD, and collaborate with software, autonomy, and systems engineering teams to ensure mission-critical reliability and rapid iteration. Experience with autonomy, aerospace, safety-critical systems, and AI-assisted development is valued.

As Senior Staff Technical Program Manager for Hivemind Enterprise, you will lead planning, execution, and delivery of complex software releases for an autonomy software development kit. You will drive simulation-based test automation initiatives, manage large-scale test operations from CI through hardware-in-the-loop and flight testing, and collaborate with engineering, product, and customer teams to define scope and ensure on-time, on-quality delivery. The role requires 8+ years in program management, engineering management, or software test engineering, with deep technical foundations in test engineering, software development, and complex HW/SW systems integration. You will optimize the software development lifecycle, facilitate technical decision-making, and mentor cross-functional teams while maintaining Shield AI's reputation for technical excellence.
