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.
Our sights are set high and our problems are hard, and we believe that diversity in the workplace is what makes us smarter, drives better insights, and will ultimately lift us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members.
What you’ll do:
- Architect and design advanced state estimation algorithms for eVTOL aircraft, ensuring safety while considering performance, robustness, and computational efficiency
- Implement state estimation algorithms, primarily in Simulink, ensuring adherence to modeling standards and best practices
- Integrate state estimation solutions with various hardware components, including air data systems, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and other aviation-grade sensors
- Synthesize system requirements used to drive design and ensure cross-functional needs are met
- Develop and execute creative verification and validation (V&V) strategies for state estimation algorithms, including simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and flight testing
- Develop and refine models to simulate sensors in nominal, degraded operation, and failure scenarios
- Analyze and interpret data from simulation, lab testing, and flight testing to identify issues and characterize real-world performance
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including control laws, hardware, software, and test engineers, to solve complex aircraft-level problems and ensure seamless integration
- Build tools and processes to maximize engineering capability
What you need:
- 9+ years of experience in the design, implementation, and verification of state estimation algorithms
- Master's or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
- Proficiency in Simulink/MATLAB for algorithm development and simulation
- Experience with sensor fusion from various sources, including INS, GNSS, airspeed sensors, and altimeters
- Demonstrated ability to think critically from high-level architecture down to low-level implementation details.
- Proven track record of developing effective V&V methodologies
- Working level knowledge of ARP4754A, DO-178C, and DO-331
Bonus Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with flight testing and test plan development
- Previous experience with flight control or state estimation systems for aircraft such as eVTOLS, helicopters, or fixed-wing airplanes.
- Working knowledge of control algorithms
- Experience working with aerospace data buses and communication protocols
- Experience working with regulation authorities
- Experience developing or testing fly-by-wire flight control systems
