Job Description:

Shield AI is seeking a Staff Mechanical Specialist to lead hands-on mechanical build, design-support, and release activities for hardware test equipment. You will help turn engineering concepts into reliable fixtures, jigs, test stands, and mechanical assemblies used to test aircraft components and subsystems.

This is an advanced individual-contributor role for someone who combines strong fabrication and assembly judgment with practical CAD, troubleshooting, and documentation skills. You will independently plan and execute complex build assignments, contribute directly to fixture designs within agreed engineering requirements, and drive complete, accurate documentation through established release workflows. You will also mentor specialists and technicians and improve how the team designs, builds, and maintains test hardware, partnering with responsible engineers on analysis, safety-critical decisions, and design approval.
