Lead
About the role
Shield AI in Seattle is seeking a Principal Thermal Engineer to own the technical direction of aircraft avionics thermal management systems, spanning aircraft-level thermal and fluid systems.
You will lead cross-functional engineering efforts, shape thermal design strategies that support performance, reliability, and scalability across programs, and mentor engineers to deliver robust solutions for mission-critical aerospace requirements.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
