Shield AI is seeking a Senior Fleet Auditor to serve as the function lead for physical custody of the enterprise fleet within Aircraft Division.

The Fleet Strategy & Portfolio Management function maintains the authoritative ledger of every aircraft in the enterprise fleet and ensures that every operational decision is grounded in accurate, real-time data. Physical custody (sign-out and sign-in transactions, inspections, deficiency logging, and routing to Sustainment) is the moment where ground truth is created. Without disciplined custody, the data layer underpinning every fleet decision drifts.

The Senior Fleet Auditor will set the standards for PMCS execution across aircraft, GSE, and payloads; own sign-out and sign-in custody transactions; route deficient assets to Sustainment; and serve as the single point of accountability for the physical custody function. This role requires deep aviation maintenance expertise, demonstrated authority with maintenance organizations, and the ability to set and enforce consistent inspection standards across a high-tempo enterprise fleet.
