This role requires expertise of structures of metallic and composite structures and a deep understanding of rotorcraft dynamic systems.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, Archer is a leader in the next-gen aerospace sector building an end-to-end advanced air mobility platform that delivers air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”), aviation-related physical artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions, and other technologies to customers worldwide across the commercial aerospace and defense sectors. 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. Archer Aviation is seeking a highly motivated, experienced engineer to join our team in revolutionizing the aviation industry. The candidate will support analysis and testing of the rotor system on a new unmanned vehicle platform, including the rotor head, blades, and control system. This role requires expertise of structures of metallic and composite structures and a deep understanding of rotorcraft dynamic systems. Candidate should have a good understanding of fatigue life predictions with a strong background in finite element methods as well as analytical first principles. The ideal candidate will act as a mentor to other members of the team with less experience and establish best practices to follow for the program. Responsibilities Perform detailed structural analyses of dynamic system components, including the rotor system, control system, and blades Evaluate static strength and fatigue life of critical structures using classical hand calculations and finite element analysis for both flight loads and ground load conditions Evaluate component life and dynamic response of dynamically loaded metallic and composite components subject to high and low cycle fatigue Author structural substantiation reports and other required technical documentation to meet program needs Support full scale component ground testing and flight testing, including test requirements, layout, instrumentation, and data reduction Develop best practices for structural analysis of critical aerospace structures Collaborate with the aerodynamics and loads & dynamics teams to design high performance propeller and rotor blades Collaborate with internal and external customers to ensure on-time delivery of data Requirements Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field 5+ years of experience in design and analysis of critical aircraft structures Proficient in ANSYS, NASTRAN, or other FE software Knowledge of fatigue and damage tolerance of composites Knowledge of high cycle and low cycle fatigue in metallic components Ability to read engineering drawings and interpret CAD models CAD design experience (NX preferred) Strong technical, written, and verbal communication skills Experience in a fast-paced design environment Nice to have Master’s in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field 10+ years of experience in design and analysis of rotorcraft dynamic systems, including rotors, controls systems, and propeller or rotor blades Background in ground and flight testing of critical composite aerospace structures Familiarity with FAA aircraft and/or rotorcraft loads and dynamics regulations (FAR Part 23, 27, 33, 35) and associated advisory materials Experience with static and dynamic loads derivation for fixed-wing vehicles and/or VTOL aircraft Ability to perform aeroelastic analysis on VTOL dynamic systems Prior involvement in FAA or military rotorcraft certification efforts Proficiency in Python and/or Matlab scripting This position will require travel up to 10% to Archer facilities or supplier facilities.
