The posting

Shield AI’s future engineering bench is built on campus. We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter to own university recruiting end to end—from campus strategy and full-cycle hiring for interns, co-ops, and new graduates to intern-to-full-time conversion, in close partnership with our internship program team.

You will lead the full university recruiting lifecycle—Plan, Attract, Engage, Assess & Hire, Convert, Retain, and Optimize—across Software Engineering (C++ and autonomy), Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Integration & Test, Mechanical Engineering, and select business functions. You will have real autonomy to shape strategy and clear accountability for outcomes: meeting hiring demand on time, securing offer acceptances in a fiercely competitive market, and converting interns into full-time engineers.

You are equal parts strategist, closer, and program partner. You are as comfortable presenting a school portfolio and ROI analysis to a VP in the morning as you are leading a technical calibration with hiring managers at midday or closing a rising senior with three competing offers that evening.

What You'll Do:

  • Own Shield AI's university recruiting strategy end to end, including the target school portfolio, annual plan, calendar, and budget for your business
  • Lead demand collection with business leaders for interns, co-ops, and intern-to-FTE conversions, driving iHIRE approvals and req postings on schedule for your business
  • Build Shield AI's campus brand through technical storytelling, faculty and career center relationships, and engagement with robotics, AI, and diversity student organizations
  • Represent Shield AI at career fairs, tech talks, and info sessions, and build early pipelines of high-potential candidates ahead of req approval
  • Run full-cycle recruiting for all intern, co-op, and new grad roles for Aircraft
  • Maintain a structured, bias-reduced evaluation process and run intern interview training and calibration to keep the bar consistent across teams and sites
  • Extend timely offers within the standard framework by role, location, and level, and partner with Compensation on salary and housing stipend benchmarking
  • Own the accepted-offer-to-Day-1 experience to reduce reneges and strengthen onboarding readiness
  • Partner with the intern program team on mentorship matching, project scoping, reviews, and intern events
  • Own the intern conversion cycle, from identifying full-time-eligible interns through extending return-intern and full-time offers
  • Report on demand fulfillment, offer and accept rates, conversion, diversity, and school ROI, and use those metrics to reshape each season's strategy

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 3 years focused on university, early-career, or campus recruiting
  • Demonstrated ownership of a campus strategy end to end — school selection, event planning, budget, and season execution — not just requisition execution
  • Track record of high-volume technical hiring for engineering roles, and of closing candidates in a competitive market
  • Experience partnering directly with senior business and engineering leaders on workforce planning and demand
  • Strong data instincts: you build and use funnel metrics, conversion rates, and ROI analysis to make decisions and to influence leaders
  • Proficiency with an ATS and sourcing tools; comfort building process, templates, and reporting from scratch
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; you represent the company credibly to students, faculty, and executives
  • Willingness to travel during peak campus season
  • A demonstrated record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience recruiting in AI, robotics, aerospace, or defense technology
  • Experience running or supporting an internship or co-op program, including intern-to-full-time conversion processes
  • Familiarity with U.S. defense-industry hiring considerations, including export control (ITAR/EAR) and work authorization requirements for early-career candidates

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
