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.

Job Responsibility:

  • Architect Autonomy Frameworks: Lead the system architecture and feature development for autonomous flight systems, with a specific focus on multi-agent coordination, task allocation, and resource scheduling in real-time environments
  • GNC Software Integration: Design, implement, and integrate C++ product software for guidance, navigation, and control modules. Ensure portability and scalability across diverse aerial platforms, overseeing the transition from algorithmic design to embedded deployment
  • State Estimation & Localization: Serve as the subject matter expert for state estimation and localization, developing software packages that fuse data from passive sensing, GPS, and IMU to ensure robust navigation in day, night, and off-road environments
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Systems Engineering and Flight Test teams to drive performance analysis. Lead the definition of verifiable software requirements, ensuring GNC considerations are integrated into vehicle navigation and obstacle avoidance algorithms
  • Safety & Compliance: Direct the development of safety-critical autonomy software, coordinating safety compliance with agencies like the FAA or NASA, and managing rigorous validation processes for flight control and autonomous path following
  • Simulation Infrastructure: Champion the development of simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test infrastructure. Drive performance analysis of compute loads and communications to improve the rigor of delivered features before flight
  • Mentorship & Methodology: Lead engineering teams in Agile environments, providing oversight on trajectory generation and control implementation while mentoring engineers in best practices for autonomy and robotics

Requirements:

  • 9+ years of professional experience in aerospace autonomy, robotics systems, or GNC software development
  • BS in Aerospace, Electrical, or Computer Engineering
  • Expert proficiency in C++ for real-time embedded software
  • Experience with robotics frameworks (such as ROS)
  • Familiarity with integrating software onto autopilots like Pixhawk
  • Proven track record in robotic teaming, trajectory generation, and mission planning for Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) or planetary exploration vehicles
  • Advanced knowledge of state estimation techniques, including vision-based navigation and sensor fusion
  • Strong organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to lead complex development initiatives and specialized engineering team

Nice to have:

  • Experience supporting high-profile missions (e.g., NASA) or coordinating with federal aviation bodies
  • Experience managing hardware integration for sensing payloads, manipulation methods, or seismometer/tether models
  • Expertise in using passive sensing for navigation and environmental perception
  • Experience conducting Verification & Validation (V&V) for robotics payloads or flight systems
