## 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.

## Responsibilities

- Support the design, integration, and validation of avionics and mission sensors and payloads for V-BAT ,from concept through production & deployment

- Collaborate with operators, mission SMEs, and internal stakeholders to understand user needs and prioritize system features and capabilities.

- Support and drive 0→1 development: take loosely defined mission problems, propose solutions, prototype quickly, iterate with flight test data, and mature systems into production-ready capabilities.

- Work with cross functional development: mechanical & electrical design, firmware/embedded interfaces, data paths, networking, and onboard software integration.

- Assist in debugging and root-cause complex hardware, software, and integration failures throughout development and flight operations.

- Conduct hands-on bring-up, lab testing, HIL testing, and flight test preparation.

- Support flight operations with real-time troubleshooting, anomaly resolution, and post-mission data analysis.

- Use Python, MATLAB, or similar tools to analyze logs, automate tests, and drive informed design decisions.

- Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Flight Test, and Manufacturing to deliver reliable and maintainable avionics systems.

- Contribute to continuous design improvement to increase reliability, robustness, and mission performance.

## Requirements

- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related STEM field.

- 2-5 years engineering experience with electrical system design, integration, testing, debug, and repair

- Hands-on experience with test equipment, schematics, harness/wiring diagrams, and HW/SW debugging.

- Experience working on multidisciplinary hardware development projects, which can be from an internship, job, club, team, personal project, etc…

- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of tasks and deliver reliable results within a multidisciplinary engineering team. Record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience integrating avionics, sensors, radios, mission payloads, or flight computing systems.

- Experience with flight test, field testing, or hardware-in-the-loop development.

- Experience with Python or any scripting language.

- Active Secret Security Clearance (or ability to obtain one if needed).

- Demonstrated adaptability, agility, and the ability to innovate under pressure to meet dynamic project demands and drive successful outcomes.

- Experience contributing to the development of a hardware + software system from concept through testing or deployment.
