Shield AI
Shield AI is redefining autonomous aviation with cutting-edge AI and GPS/RF-denied navigation technologies. We’re building a next-generation aircraft like no other—one that will push the boundaries of innovation and performance.
We’re looking for a Power Engineer II to contribute to the design, analysis, and validation of power electronics systems critical to our aircraft. This role is perfect for an engineer with a solid foundation in power systems who is eager to grow, own challenging projects, and see their work move rapidly from concept to flight.
What you'll do:
Design Power Electronics: Design of HV and LV systems including high-voltage and low-voltage power systems, DC-DC converters, inverters, and motor controllers, battery, battery management, power generation, and distribution, and embedded safety and protection mechanisms. Design across power ranges: Engineer solutions from
10 kW high-power applications. Full-cycle hardware development: Own the entire flow — concept, modeling, worst case analysis, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, design reiteration for improving design maturity, testing and validation. PCB ownership: Drive PCB layout and design with ECAD engineers, optimizing for power density, EMI, thermal, and manufacturability. Design for Safety, Manufacturability and Reliability: Design robust systems keeping in mind best practices for safety, manufacturing and reliability. Board Bring Up and Testing: Execute board bring up, verification, validation and HALT testing to meet rigorous aerospace reliability standards. Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with Mechanical, CAD, Embedded, Software, Production and various aircraft teams throughout the product lifecycle. Design review leadership: Lead and contribute to cross-functional reviews ensuring robust, high-integrity engineering decisions. Program execution: Manage project timelines, deliverables, and technical milestones to drive on-time, high-quality outcomes. Required qualifications:
You have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent. You have 1+ years of experience as an Electrical Engineer. You are experienced with circuit design, schematic capture, component selection, circuit testing, and debugging. You have a demonstrated record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others. Familiarity with Altium or equivalent. You have experience with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, power supplies, E-loads, multimeters, etc. Shield AI is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
