Job Description: 

Shield AI is seeking an experienced V-BAT Technical Writer to support the development, release, and lifecycle management of aircraft system service bulletins. This is a hands-on technical publications role that works closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and field support teams to translate complex technical changes, safety concerns, inspection requirements, corrective actions, and operational limitations into clear, accurate, and actionable communications for operators and maintainers. The successful candidate may come from an A&P, military aviation maintenance, UAS maintenance or operations, avionics, flight-test, aerospace technician, or field-service background, with demonstrated ability to write and maintain technical publications. 

The ideal candidate understands how aircraft are assembled, operated, inspected, troubleshot, repaired, and returned to service and is able to turn that knowledge into precise, usable, configuration-controlled documentation. The Technical Writer will be responsible for determining the appropriate scope and audience for service bulletins; identifying affected aircraft configurations, serial-number ranges, components, and software versions; documenting required inspections, modifications, repair actions, or operational restrictions; and ensuring released content aligns with approved engineering data and internal document-control processes.
