Job Description: Shield AI is on a mission to build the world’s best aircraft—and we’re looking for a Harness Design Engineer to help power that vision. In this high-impact, high-ownership role, you’ll be designing complex wire harnesses and cable assemblies that are the nervous system of X-BAT, our next-generation autonomous UAV platform. Your expertise in harness design won’t just support the mission—it will enable it. From concept to deployment, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring reliability, precision, and performance in the field, where failure is not an option. If you’re passionate about cutting-edge aerospace technology and want to build systems that make a real-world difference, this is your chance to make your mark—on the ground and in the skies.

Responsibilities

  • Design wire harnesses and cable assemblies for X-BAT and supporting ground equipment
  • Collaborate with electrical engineering to define connector selection, current/voltage requirements, shielding, and other design aspects
  • Perform electrical, mechanical, and environmental analysis for harness reliability
  • Prototype and test harnesses in dynamic, mission-critical environments
  • Collaborate with avionics, systems, supply chain, and manufacturing teams for integration
  • Lead technicians in building, testing, and debugging various parts of the EWIS system

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering
  • 0-2 years working with wire harness designs for automotive, aerospace, or robotics. Professional, personal, or club experience is acceptable
  • 3D CAD modeling tool experience, such as NX or CATIA
  • Knowledge of GD&T best practices, tolerance stack-ups, and IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards
  • Experience with electrical schematics and connector selection
  • Hands-on experience with harness fabrication or testing
  • Ability to work independently in fast-paced, cross-functional teams
  • A demonstrated record of working hard, being trustworthy, holding yourself to high standards, and being kind to others
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
