About The Position

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 Develop high-fidelity powertrain simulation models including electric motors, batteries, inverters, transmissions, and thermal management systems. Conduct vehicle-level trade studies and optimization analyses to maximize efficiency, performance, and range. Update powertrain electrical, thermal, and performance model fidelity based on dynamometer, track, and real-world test data to support vehicle certification. Conduct design and analysis activities to verify business and regulatory requirements will be met with high confidence. Develop efficient, optimized code for real-time and faster-than-real-time simulation applications. Translate MATLAB/Simulink models into production C code. Integrate physical powertrain models with vehicle simulation team for complete system analysis. Collaborate with controls, hardware, and test teams to validate simulation results against physical systems. Support model-based design workflows and continuous integration processes.
