Job DescriptIon:

As an Software Engineer II on the HMS Factory Team, you will help build and maintain automated testing, log-analysis, and scenario-generation tools that support the Hivemind Platform (HMP). You will work with experienced software, autonomy, and systems engineers to help teams evaluate AI Pilot behaviors through repeatable simulation testing and data-driven performance analysis.

This is a hands-on engineering role for an early-career developer interested in autonomy, simulation, software test infrastructure, data analysis, and distributed systems. You will contribute Python-based tooling, test automation scripts, analysis utilities, and documentation that help autonomy and systems developers run tests, understand simulation results, and identify software issues.

You will also gain exposure to secure and commercial development environments, build and dependency-management workflows, containerized infrastructure, and distributed test orchestration. Under guidance from senior engineers, you will help improve the reliability, usability, and scalability of the team’s testing and analysis ecosystem.
