Job Description:

Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California building an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a mission to advance the benefits of sustainable air mobility. We are designing, manufacturing, and operating an all-electric aircraft that can carry four passengers while producing minimal noise. As a Design Engineer - Avionics Integration, you will work on aircraft-level avionics systems integration within the Advanced Projects group. We are a small but diverse group of multi-disciplinary engineers responsible for the rapid development of future Archer aircraft concepts, taking them from idea to experimental flight testing on aggressive accelerated timelines. In this role, you will play a critical role in integrating and optimizing the avionics systems packaging throughout Archer’s future hybrid-electric aircraft platform.

Job Responsibility:

  • Develop and maintain CAD and drawings to document interfaces between avionics subsystems and airframe interfaces
  • Own and maintain avionics envelope CAD models and keep out zones to enable comprehensive vehicle package studies
  • Maintain avionics configuration management, tracking various pedigrees and versions of hardware
  • Assist in defining assembly processes and techniques and standardizing across the department
  • Collaborate with manufacturing team to ensure seamless aircraft integration processes
  • Maintain comprehensive mass budget tracking for all avionics subsystems, identifying risks and weight optimization opportunities
  • Conduct trade studies to optimize system integration, mass efficiency, and performance
  • Support test planning and validation activities for thrust unit assemblies
  • Analyze test data and implement design improvements based on findings
  • Work cross-functionally with sourcing and quality teams to support supplier selection, component qualification, and inspection requirements for integration components
  • Participate in design reviews and provide technical expertise for critical integration decisions
  • Drive improvements to existing processes and develop new procedures as needed

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in mechanical/aerospace engineering, or related field
  • Experience with system-level integration and interface management
  • Experience generating Bills of Materials (BOM) and managing change control processes
  • Proficiency in CAD modeling (NX preferred), 2D drawings, tolerance analysis, and GD&T
  • Understanding of mass budgeting, configuration management, and systems integration
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes for aerospace structural components including machining, joining methods, and composite manufacturing
  • Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional technical initiatives across multiple subsystem teams
  • Excellent documentation and communication skills for maintaining complex interface requirements
  • Capacity to manage multiple integration challenges and priorities simultaneously
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for resolving interface conflicts
  • Availability for domestic travel as needed
  • Demonstrated commitment to safety and quality in engineering practices

Nice to have:

  • Aerospace development and certification experience
  • Deep understanding of prototype development lifecycle and the unique requirements for experimental flight test vehicles
  • Familiarity with regulatory requirements and design practices for system separation (e.g., flight-critical vs. non-critical systems)
  • Demonstrated hand-on experience in a prototype environment through prior work or personal projects
  • Self-motivated with exceptional attention to detail and systems-thinking approach
