Shield AI is an American defence technology company founded in 2015 that builds autonomy software and uncrewed aircraft for military missions. Its Hivemind autonomy stack lets aircraft fly, navigate and complete objectives without GPS, a remote pilot or a communications link, which matters in contested environments where those links are jammed. Headquartered in San Diego, California, the company fields the V-BAT vertical take-off aircraft with United States and allied forces, licenses Hivemind to other manufacturers and is developing the X-BAT jet for high-end missions.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Own the design of motors and other electric machines for X-BAT and other next gen aircraft
  • Design sub-systems and components including wound field motor, permanent magnet motor, and motor mechanical structural components
  • Integrate designs with the aircraft structure, engine, power electronics, and thermal system
  • Create detailed 3D CAD models and 2D drawings of electro-mechanical designs at a component and motor sub-system level
  • Release detailed work instructions and documentation in close collaboration with manufacturing
  • Execute hands on testing and full qualification on a representative dyno, engine test stand, and full aircraft
  • Perform noise and vibration testing on components for motors and power electronics, including vehicle powertrain and thermal systems

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical design of electric motors
  • Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
  • Strong technical fundamentals with material selection, mechanics, dynamics, thermal, DFM, and tolerancing
  • Proficiency with 3D CAD modeling
  • Experience with GD&T, stack-up analyses (linear & radial), and determining realistic tolerancing limits based on manufacturing best practices
  • Have delivered motor products from design through production
  • Hands on experience to verify performance and integrate with power electronics
  • Experience testing for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)
  • Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting
  • You have a demonstrated record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others
