Staff Engineer, Electrical Integration & Test (R5204) at Shield · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

At Shield AI, we are revolutionizing defense technology to protect service members and civilians with intelligent, autonomous systems. Our Integration Test Engineering team plays a critical role in ensuring the X-BAT remains the most reliable, mission-ready UAV in the industry. We design cutting-edge test solutions—custom-built electrical and mechanical systems that push our hardware to its limits in real-world and extreme environments.
As a Senior Integration Engineer on our Test team, you will own the design and development of test systems that push our hardware to its limits. From specifying software and hardware architecture for test to writing code and designing circuits for custom interfaces, you’ll be at the forefront of ensuring the highest reliability in aerospace hardware. This is a high-impact role where your expertise in System Interconnect, Protocol and Behavioral analysis, and automation will help shape the future of intelligent defense systems.
Lead the design, validation, and deployment of advanced test systems for X-BAT’s critical components and subsystems.
Architect Test Framework Software and test interfaces for power electronics, compute complex, and communication systems.
Build and maintain scalable test infrastructure and shared libraries, promoting modularity, reusability, and consistency across teams and platforms.
Automate system provisioning and configuration management to accelerate deployment and maintenance of new test frameworks.
Develop real-time monitoring and data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana) to deliver actionable insights during test execution and system debugging.
Lead and participate in design and code reviews, championing sound architectural principles, testability, observability, and reliability throughout the software stack.
Assure coverage of requirements while balancing exhaustive testing against minimum and sufficient checks as the product and testing mature.
Own and drive cross-functional design reviews, advocating for design-for-testability (DFT) improvements.
Work in partnership with HASS, ESS, and HALT testing, validating performance in simulated harsh environments.
Be a technical mentor, guiding junior engineers and contributing to Shield AI’s growing expertise in system test engineering.
