Shield AI
Electrical Engineer I - Power Electronics (R3932)
Shield AI, Dallas, Texas, United States, 75215
Job Description:
Founded in 2015, Shield AI is a venture-backed deep-tech company with the mission of protecting service members and civilians with intelligent systems. Its products include the V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, Hivemind Enterprise, and the Hivemind Vision product lines. Shield AI’s technology actively supports operations worldwide across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia‑Pacific.
What you'll do:
Own a power electronics design that directly impacts X-BAT system performance and major flight test milestones, supported by a senior engineer who provides technical guidance and review. Contribute to the full hardware lifecycle including concept development, modeling, worst‑case analysis, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, bring‑up, verification, integration, and flight test support. Design and analyze low‑voltage and high‑voltage power systems including DC‑DC converters, inverters, motor controllers, battery systems, power distribution, and protection circuits. Design systems across power ranges from
10 kW high‑power applications while balancing efficiency, thermal constraints, EMI/EMC performance, and reliability. Partner with ECAD engineers on PCB layout for power density, thermal performance, EMI mitigation, and manufacturability. Execute hands‑on board bring‑up, debug, root‑cause analysis, and validation using oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and other test equipment. Support environmental, stress, and qualification testing (HALT, vibration, temperature cycling) for aerospace‑grade reliability. Collaborate closely with Mechanical, Embedded, Software, Production, and Aircraft teams to ensure robust system integration and clear interface ownership. Drive disciplined engineering practices including documentation, risk reduction, and closing the loop between analysis and test results. Required qualifications:
B.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent. Strong technical fundamentals in circuits, electronics, and power systems. Hands‑on experience (coursework, labs, clubs, or internships) with power electronics such as converters, motor drivers, batteries, or high‑power systems. Familiarity with electrical design tools (Altium, KiCad, etc.). Experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, e‑loads, and multimeters. Participation in an engineering team/club or hands‑on project experience. 81456 - 122184 USD a year 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.
