About the Role
We are seeking a Future Concepts Intern to explore and evaluate next-generation concepts for Shield AI’s Hivemind autonomy across air, space, land, and maritime domains. Partnering closely with mentors in Future Concepts and Operations Analysis, and collaborating with Engineering, Product, and Go-To-Market teams, you will turn emerging technologies and operational needs into credible mission concepts and lightweight analytical prototypes. Over the course of the internship, you will run early-stage trade studies, build scripts and models to test key assumptions, and communicate findings that inform our product roadmap.
This position is ideal for a curious problem-solver with a strong foundation in engineering or a quantitative field and hands-on programming skills. Blending creative thinking with analytical rigor, you will contribute to concept studies, white papers, and briefings that shape how Shield AI addresses critical challenges for the warfighter.
