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 Worst Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA) and margin analysis on control and measurement circuits, including microcontrollers, resolver interfaces, PMICs, power trees, voltage/current sensors, and digital communications (CAN, SPI, etc)
Conduct circuit simulations using SPICE and MATLAB to validate designs across component tolerances, temperature extremes, and voltage variations
Lead Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) for control and sensor boards, working cross-functionally with Safety and Reliability teams to identify and mitigate risks
Analyze effects of single-event upsets and latch-ups on critical system functionality
Perform electrical stress analysis and component derating analysis
Support the design team with analytical validation of power management architectures, sensor interfaces, and MCU-based control circuits
Collaborate with hardware, controls, firmware, safety, and reliability teams to ensure designs meet aerospace performance and certification requirements
Generate analysis reports and technical documentation to support design reviews and DO-254/DO-160 compliance
Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
5+ years of experience in circuit analysis and simulation for mixed-signal control systems
Proven expertise conducting WCCA, DFMEA, and margin analysis on MCU-based boards, sensor interfaces, or power management systems
Proficiency with SPICE simulation tools (PSpice, LTSpice, HSPICE) and MATLAB/Simulink
Strong understanding of MCU control circuits, analog sensor interfaces (resolvers, voltage/current sensors), PMICs, power sequencing, and component derating principles
Experience working cross-functionally with Safety and Reliability teams on risk assessment
Understanding of DO-254, DO-160, or similar aerospace/automotive safety standards
Excellent analytical and communication skills in multidisciplinary environments
Nice to have:
Experience with aerospace or automotive electrical systems analysis
Hands-on experience with DO-254 development and DO-160G testing
Experience with high-voltage power electronics for battery, motor, or inverter systems
Proficiency with analysis automation (Python, MATLAB scripting)
