Staff Engineer, Safety - X-BAT (R5312)

You're starting your career at a moment when your work can have real weight. Shield AI builds autonomous systems for defense and protection—software and aircraft used in actual operations globally. A Staff Engineer role here means you're not just learning the job; you're taking on leadership responsibilities early, which accelerates your growth and your impact.

In this safety-focused engineering position, you'll work on X-BAT aircraft and related systems. You'll be responsible for designing, testing, and implementing safety protocols that matter. This is operations-level work: you're solving concrete problems, not theorizing. You'll collaborate with teams across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

This role fits you if you have a strong foundation in engineering or computer science, can think systematically about risk and reliability, and want to work on something with purpose. A portfolio or project experience showing safety-critical thinking, systems design, or autonomous systems will help your application stand out.
