Shield AI is hiring a Senior Component Engineer in Seattle, on-site, for the XBAT aircraft program. The role is one of the first in a new component engineering function, so the hire defines process, tooling and standards.

It spans engineering, supply chain and reliability. No salary or visa details are given.
