About Shield AI
Shield AI is building the world’s best AI pilot. Our autonomous systems, including V-BAT and Hivemind Enterprise, operate in the most contested environments in the world. As next-generation aircraft programs transition from development into production, operational agility and production discipline are critical to delivering mission-ready systems while enabling rapid innovation.
We are seeking a Senior Production Planner for Development Programs to drive production planning and execution for developmental and prototype aircraft builds. This role operates at the intersection of Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Program Management to ensure aircraft build schedules remain executable despite evolving designs, changing priorities, and material constraints.
Job Description
The Senior Production Planner – Development Programs is responsible for developing, maintaining, and executing production plans for prototype and developmental aircraft programs.

You will serve as a critical coordination point between Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Program Management to translate rapidly changing program requirements into actionable production plans.
