Job Description:

As an System Test Engineer I, you will support the integration, verification, and validation of Hivemind Mission Autonomy across a variety of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and mission applications. You will work with experienced test, systems, software, autonomy, hardware, and program teams to help prepare, execute, document, and improve system-level test activities.

This is a hands-on engineering role for an early-career candidate interested in autonomy, robotics, unmanned systems, simulation, software-and-hardware integration, and flight-test operations.
