Senior Fuel Systems Engineer

Shield AI is building the world’s most advanced AI pilot to operate aircraft autonomously in high-threat environments. As a Senior Fuel Systems Engineer on the next-gen UAV program, you will play a mission-critical role in designing the next generation of fuel systems to power autonomous flight at scale.

This is an R&D-focused position at the earliest stages of a new platform. You will be responsible for the architecture, design, modeling, and integration of fuel subsystems for turbine-based propulsion systems. You’ll work hands-on with a cross-functional team of propulsion, mechanical, thermal, systems, and flight test engineers to create innovative solutions under aggressive timelines.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, embraces technical depth, and wants to own the end-to-end development of flight-critical fuel systems that have never been built before.
