Job Description

Candidates for this role will deploy, integrate, maintain, and support Shield AI's advanced vision and detection systems in laboratory, production, customer, and field environments. These systems combine imaging sensors, onboard processing, and intelligent detection capabilities in ruggedized camera pods and gimbals for crewed and uncrewed fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. We are looking for a hands-on integration engineer who can bridge software, electrical, and mechanical disciplines; manage hardware and software configurations with precision; troubleshoot effectively; and represent Shield AI with customers and mission partners.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do:

Install, integrate, configure, and support deployment of vision systems including: camera pods, imaging sensors, onboard processing hardware, and associated electronic assemblies on crewed and uncrewed aircraft and supporting test assets

Load, configure, update, and validate software releases in accordance with release instructions and configuration-control processes

Perform system bring-up, functional checkout, acceptance testing, and post-installation verification of sensor, compute, power, network, and aircraft interfaces

Maintain accurate hardware and software configuration records, including serial numbers, part numbers, software versions, installation status, service history, spares, and returned-material activity

Read and apply mechanical drawings, installation drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, pinouts, interface-control documents, work instructions, and technical manuals

Perform basic wiring and electro-mechanical work, including connector inspection, continuity checks, pin verification, cable routing, termination, and minor harness rework when authorized by approved procedures

Diagnose and resolve software, electrical, network, sensor, and mechanical integration issues using logs, built-in diagnostics, test equipment, drawings, and controlled troubleshooting methods

Document field issues, troubleshooting steps, test results, repairs, configuration changes, and corrective actions in clear service reports and engineering-tracking systems

Coordinate with engineering, production, quality, program, and customer teams to resolve issues, implement approved changes, and communicate operational feedback

Support customer deployments, demonstrations, operational exercises, and evaluations, including site readiness, equipment staging, installation planning, shipping and receiving, tool control, inventory, and field-service logistics

Provide hands-on customer support, operator and maintainer familiarization, and technical guidance for system operation, routine maintenance, and fault isolation

Follow applicable safety, quality, airworthiness, cybersecurity, export-control, and configuration-management requirements while traveling to customer, test, and operational sites

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of experience in field service, aerospace integration, electronics, avionics, mechatronics, or a related technical discipline with a Bachelor's or Associate's degree; or equivalent practical experience.

Hands-on experience installing, integrating, maintaining, or troubleshooting electro-mechanical systems, electronic assemblies, sensors, computing hardware, or airborne payloads.

Experience installing, configuring, updating, and verifying software or firmware on fielded systems while following release and configuration-control procedures.

Ability to read and work from wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, mechanical and installation drawings, pinouts, work instructions, and technical manuals.

Familiarity with Linux- and Windows-based systems, command-line tools, software deployment workflows, networking, and log collection.

Competence with basic wiring and electrical troubleshooting, including safe use of digital multimeters, continuity testing, connector inspection, pin verification, cable routing, and basic termination or rework.

Strong hardware accountability and documentation skills, including asset, serial-number, inventory, maintenance, and software-version tracking.

Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot across software, electrical, network, and mechanical interfaces and to clearly document findings and corrective actions.

Strong customer-facing communication, organization, and teamwork skills, with the ability and willingness to travel approximately 50% to support customer integration, deployments, demonstrations, exercises, evaluations, and other field activities, including work outside standard hours when required.

Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

Field-service, deployment, or integration experience in the aerospace, defense, robotics, or other mission-critical equipment industry.

Experience with electro-optical or infrared imaging systems, camera systems, optical sensors, ruggedized sensor pods, or airborne mission payloads.

Experience integrating equipment on crewed or uncrewed fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft.

Experience with aviation or military wiring practices, cable and connector assembly, soldering or crimping, and standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620.

Experience using oscilloscopes, power supplies, network analyzers, serial interfaces, Ethernet, CAN, or other common integration and diagnostic tools.

Experience with configuration-management, asset-management, inventory, enterprise resource planning, product lifecycle management, or maintenance-tracking systems.

Experience providing customer training, technical demonstrations, service documentation, or remote and on-site technical support.

Familiarity with FAA, DoD, or U.S. test-site operations, aviation safety practices, and airworthiness expectations.
