Senior Electrical Engineer

Shield AI is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to serve as the electrical SME for the V-BAT Fleet Support team. In this role, you will own customer-facing engineering support for aircraft electrical issues across the fielded fleet. You will act as the bridge between Fleet Support and the avionics, electrical, software, and systems engineering teams to resolve complex technical problems quickly and thoroughly.

This role is best suited for an engineer with strong avionics and aircraft electrical troubleshooting experience who can move fluidly between schematic-level analysis, hardware debug, and field support.

Key responsibilities include:

• Serving as the electrical SME for Fleet Support and leading escalated investigations involving aircraft electrical and avionics issues.
• Diagnosing avionics system issues, onboard communication hardware issues, wiring and harness problems, power-distribution faults, connector failures, grounding issues, and intermittent electrical anomalies.
• Troubleshooting aircraft electrical problems at the aircraft, subsystem, harness, connector, and line-replaceable unit levels.
• Reviewing and maintaining schematics, pinouts, wiring diagrams, interface definitions, and troubleshooting documentation used by Fleet Support and customer teams.
• Using standard debug equipment to isolate faults, validate corrective actions, and support return-to-service decisions.
• Partnering closely with software, mission systems, and radio frequency (RF) engineers on issues that cross electrical, software, and communications boundaries.
• Identifying recurring failure patterns and driving clear feedback into design, manufacturing, integration, and quality organizations.
• Developing field-ready troubleshooting guides, repair recommendations, and service documentation for the Fleet Support organization.
