Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company (founded 2015) building intelligent autonomy systems to protect service members and civilians. Its products include Hivemind autonomy software and the V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, with X-BAT described as a runway-independent, AI-piloted VTOL military UAV for contested environments where GPS/communications may be denied or degraded. Candidates should note roles span hardware flight-test programs (e.g., X-BAT) and the Hivemind business, with work carried out across multiple regions and flight-test campaigns, including a Newton, KS test site referenced in the fluid systems role.
