A blade angle feedback assembly for a variable-pitch rotor of an aircraft engine, the rotor rotatable about an axis and having rotor blades rotatable about respective spanwise axes to adjust a blade angle thereof, is provided. A sensor is configured to provide feedback on the blade angle of the rotor blades by detecting a relative movement between the sensor and a feedback device having at least one position marker thereon. The sensor comprises a magnet having a magnetic field and a first pole and a second pole opposite the first pole. A magnetic shield is configured to define a magnetic return path for at least a portion of a magnetic flux of the magnetic field exiting from the first pole of the magnet toward the second pole, the magnetic shield comprising at least one wall member spanning a distance of relative displacement between the feedback device and the sensor.
