Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company developing intelligent autonomous systems to protect service members and civilians. The Flight Sciences team integrates stability & control, aerodynamics, performance, and aero-propulsion engineering to advance unmanned aviation capabilities.
As a Senior Aerospace Engineer on this team, you will bridge theoretical design with practical flight testing. Your work will span multiple disciplines—from aerodynamic modeling and performance analysis to propulsion integration and control systems. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in a high-tempo environment where concepts rapidly transition from design phase to real-world flight validation.
The role emphasizes hands-on problem-solving, data-driven decision making, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative setting. You'll contribute to cutting-edge autonomous flight systems that have active operational deployment globally. Shield AI operates facilities across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, with a strong focus on advancing autonomous vehicle technology for defense applications.
