Job Description: Shield AI is on a mission to build the world’s most advanced AI pilots for next-generation autonomous aircraft, and we’re looking for a Lead Fuel Systems Engineer to drive the design, development, and integration of cutting-edge fuel systems that push the limits of endurance and performance. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of developing mission-critical fuel solutions for our next generation advanced UAV platform, ensuring seamless fuel storage, transfer, and pressurization for long-endurance, high-performance autonomous flight. You’ll work alongside top-tier engineers in propulsion, avionics, structures, and AI to create game-changing fuel systems that enhance survivability, efficiency, and operational flexibility in contested environments. This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to redefine what’s possible in autonomous aviation. What you will do in this role: Lead the design and integration of advanced fuel systems for autonomous aircraft in high-stakes missions. Optimize mission endurance and weight distribution through innovative fuel storage, transfer, venting, and pressurization solutions. Architect fail-safe, redundant fuel management systems to ensure operational flexibility and survivability. Collaborate cross-functionally with propulsion, avionics, thermal, and structures teams for seamless system integration. Apply CFD and system-level modeling to optimize fuel flow, minimize pressure losses, and enhance thermal stability. Oversee supplier selection, component qualification, and aerospace-grade fuel system testing. Solve real-world challenges like cavitation, thermal expansion, and high-altitude fuel behavior. Support fuel system testing, troubleshooting, and performance analysis for flight validation. Ensure compliance with FAA, MIL-STD, and aerospace fuel system regulations. Required qualifications: 8 + years of experience in aerospace fuel systems engineering, fluid mechanics, and propulsion integration. Deep expertise in fuel storage, transfer, pressurization, and venting systems for high-performance aircraft or UAVs. Strong background in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Proficiency in CFD tools (ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM), MATLAB, Simulink, and CAD (CATIA, NX, SolidWorks). Experience with DO-160, MIL-STD-810, or other aerospace fuel system certification standards. Hands-on knowledge of fuel pumps, valves, sensors, and system integration testing. Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills for prototype and production fuel systems. US Citizenship required due to security clearance requirements. Preferred qualifications: Experience with military UAVs, fighter jets, or high-endurance ISR platforms. Background in stealth fuel system design and vapor management. Knowledge of alternative fuel technologies, hybrid-electric propulsion, and advanced energy storage. Experience supporting flight test operations and mission endurance optimization. Please note that the salary range reflects multiple levels of seniority. The final level and scope of the role will be determined through the interview process. Full-time regular employee offer package: Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity Temporary employee offer package: Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment) Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location.
