Résumé du poste

Shield AI seeks a Staff Fluid and Mechanical Systems Engineer to own liquid cooling, ram-air circuits, ECS/TMS fluid architecture, and related mechanical installations for a Group 5 UAV fighter aircraft. You will apply first-principles engineering to create buildable, maintainable systems enabling rapid vehicle integration and deployment.

The role demands rigorous problem-solving, ownership, and delivery within an accelerated aircraft development program.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of fluid systems design, thermal systems analysis, or mechanical systems installation in aerospace or regulated industry.
• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related discipline.
• Deep mastery of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mechanical design fundamentals, and tolerance stack-up methodologies.
• Demonstrated capability with fluid system sizing and analysis including pressure drop, flow networks, heat transfer, and 1D modeling.
• Ability to create fluid-system layouts and mechanical installations satisfying routing, packaging, maintainability, and vehicle integration requirements.
• Experience in 3D CAD modeling, routing, layouts, and drawing release with Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, or equivalent PLM workflows.
• Hands-on capability designing brackets, mounts, supports, and installation hardware with hand calculations and basic structural analysis.
• Proven track record sourcing COTS/custom aerospace components, driving suppliers to schedule, and assembling benchtop or vehicle-level test setups.
• Demonstrated ability to self-direct, prioritize tasks, and deliver hardware under tight timelines.
