Overview
Shield AI is looking for a Solutions Systems Engineer Intern to help turn operational concepts into fully designed autonomous capabilities. You'll work alongside experienced systems engineers to take a real Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and break it down from top-level mission behavior to the individual software components that deliver it. That work covers Mission Autonomy, Command & Control (C2), and Mission Planning.
Over the internship, you'll take a project from planning through execution. You'll build requirements, interfaces, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts, present at regular design reviews, and deliver a complete design package to key stakeholders. At the end, you'll demonstrate your work to the wider Shield AI community.
