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:

  • Perform low/mid/high fidelity aerodynamic simulations of Archer eVTOL aircraft
  • Develop linear/non-linear aerodynamic models to predict aircraft behavior and performance throughout the flight envelope
  • Analyze experimental data (either from flight test or wind tunnel) to identify sources of model errors, validate, and improve aerodynamic models of the vehicle
  • Develop efficient methods to feed flight test data back into aerodynamic simulation models of various fidelity and complexity
  • Contribute to the development of Archer aerodynamic software stack, improving methods and workflows
  • Coordinate with other cross-functional teams and pilots for flight simulator aerodynamic modeling updates and issue resolution

Requirements:

  • BS / MS / PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a related field
  • 4+ years of experience with BS, or 3+ years of experience with MS, or 1+ years of experience with PhD modeling rotorcraft, tiltrotor, eVTOL aerodynamics at full-vehicle level
  • Strong understanding of fundamentals of fixed-wing and rotorcraft aerodynamics, performance, stability & control
  • Experience in eVTOL and/or multicopter vehicle aerodynamics design and analysis, including 6 DoF vehicle trimming and trajectory optimization
  • Experience with gradient-based and gradient-free optimization techniques
  • Experience with surrogate modeling techniques (like Kriging methods) and statistical analysis
  • Experience with experimental data processing and reduction techniques
  • Proficiency in Python programming
  • Experience with software development, object-oriented, version control best practices, as well as Git, CICD, Conda
  • Excellent work planning and issue resolution skills
  • Strong technical, written, and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work in groups and individually
  • Experience in a fast-paced design environment

Nice to have:

  • Experience with developing, training, and optimizing neural networks or other machine learning models in the context of aerodynamic modeling
  • Experience with wind tunnel and flight test campaigns planning, execution, and data processing, ideally matured on rotorcraft, tiltrotor, eVTOL program
  • Work experience with rotorcraft comprehensive analysis tools, such as RCAS or CAMRAD2
  • Work experience with NASA Overflow and Fun3D CFD software, including meshing
  • Experience utilizing high-performance computing (HPC) to parallelize workflows
  • Familiarity with conventional airplane Part 23/25 or rotorcraft Part 27/29 certification basis and test methods
  • Familiarity with ASTM standards for fixed wing and rotorcraft
  • Familiarity with Matlab/Simulink, and Fortran/C++ coding
