Job description

Shield AI is a venture-backed defense-tech company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Its products include Hivemind autonomy software, V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, and Aechelon simulation and synthetic reality technologies. With offices and facilities across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, Shield AI’s technology actively supports operations worldwide. For more information, visit www.shield.ai. Follow Shield AI on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube.  Job Description: The Structures Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for providing technical ownership of V-BAT airframe, structural, mechanical, and repair-related sustainment issues across the fielded fleet. This role evaluates structural damage, wear, cracking, deformation, fatigue concerns, impact damage, hard landing effects, mishap findings, and recurring mechanical issues to determine appropriate repair, disposition, inspection, retrofit, or escalation paths. The Structures Engineer ensures structural repairs, service guidance, and configuration changes are technically sound, properly documented, and coordinated through the appropriate engineering and configuration control processes. This role partners closely with Fleet Support, Sustainment Engineering, Product Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, the Material Review Board, Configuration Management, and Operations to support safe, timely, and practical sustainment decisions that protect fleet readiness, customer support, and long-term aircraft serviceability. The Structures Engineer must balance engineering rigor with field support urgency, providing technically defensible recommendations while enabling practical repair and return-to-service outcomes for deployed aircraft.
