  • Create and update 3D models, engineering drawings, bills of materials, and other design documentation
  • Assist with structural, thermal, and modal analyses under the guidance of experienced engineers
  • Work with electrical engineers to define and document mechanical interfaces for circuit cards, connectors, wiring, and harnesses
  • Help investigate well-defined design and manufacturing issues, evaluate solutions, and document results
  • Support prototype builds, system integration, environmental testing, failure analysis, and flight-test readiness activities
  • Follow, and contribute to, established engineering processes, configuration-control practices, and functional best practices
  • Develop plans for assigned tasks, communicate progress and risks, and execute against team priorities
  • Build effective working relationships within the team, incorporate feedback, and share relevant knowledge
  • Contribute to products that advance Shield AI’s mission while demonstrating the company’s values

  • Ability to create or interpret basic engineering drawings and mechanical layouts
  • Familiarity with electromechanical systems, circuit cards, connectors, wiring, and harness integration
  • Basic understanding of structural or thermal analysis methods
  • Strong problem-solving, documentation, organization, and communication skills
  • Ability to complete well-defined engineering tasks with guidance from peers and managers
  • Ability to collaborate effectively, accept feedback, and work in a fast-paced development environment with evolving priorities
  • Ability to obtain an S//SAR-level security clearance is desired

    • Preferred qualifications:
