In the Sr. Electric Engine Systems Engineer role, you will drive the Airborne Electronic Hardware (AEH) systems lifecycle for Archer’s electric propulsion units (EPU). This position bridges the gap between detailed power electronics design and aircraft-level certification. You will be responsible for defining requirements, managing the DO-254 compliance process, and executing rigorous verification and validation (V&V) campaigns for high-voltage inverters and motor control hardware. Your work ensures that our electric engines meet the stringent safety factors, environmental durability, and functional performance required for Part 33/Part 23 certification.
Job Responsibility:
Partner with hardware designers to decompose aircraft-level functions into verifiable hardware requirements for inverters, gate drivers, and motor control logic
Manage requirements traceability using Polarion or DOORS, ensuring full coverage for safety-critical functions
Define robust hardware-to-software and hardware-to-mechanical interface control documents (ICDs)
Generate and maintain AEH certification artifacts as required by DO-254 (Plan for Hardware Aspects of Certification, Hardware Design Plan, Hardware Accomplishment Summary)
Coordinate with Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) to review compliance data and substantiate design assurance levels (DAL A/B)
Lead critical design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) and ensure design decisions are justified via analysis and documented for certification
Requirements:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field
5+ years of experience in hardware systems engineering, V&V, or AEH qualification in aerospace or similarly regulated industries (automotive ISO 26262)
Deep technical understanding of power electronics, PMAC motor control, and inverter topologies
Demonstrated experience planning and executing environmental and functional testing (DO-160, MIL-STD-810, or automotive equivalents)
Proficiency with requirements management tools (Polarion, DOORS, Jama)
Strong knowledge of DO-254 design assurance lifecycles and structured verification methodologies
Ability to interpret complex circuit schematics and perform root cause analysis on test failures
Excellent technical communication skills for interfacing with regulatory authorities and cross-functional design teams
Nice to have:
Direct experience certifying Engines under 14 CFR Part 33
Experience setting up or operating high-power dynamometers and HIL test benches
Knowledge of SAE ARP4754A (Systems Development) and ARP4761 (Safety Assessment/FMEA/FTA)
