Job Description:
Shield AI’s mission is to protect the lives of service members and civilians with intelligent systems.
As a Mission Systems Engineer II, you will support the hands-on integration of avionics, sensors, and mission payloads onto the V-BAT and our next-generation aircraft. We’re looking for engineers with a strong mix of hardware and software experience—people who can move fluidly from hardware and software integration and system bring-up to real-time troubleshooting.
Ideal candidates have hands-on experience taking hardware–software systems from 0→1, understanding what truly matters to end users, and delivering reliable capabilities into real-world field use.
In this role, you will contribute to the specification, integration, testing, and validation of mission and avionics systems that expand the capabilities of our aircraft. You’ll work closely with electrical, mechanical, software, and flight test teams in both the lab and the field, supporting the development lifecycle of payload systems from concept through deployment.
Help us save lives as we strive to deliver the most highly reliable aerospace hardware in the industry.
