Job Description:

Archer is an aerospace company building an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. We are building in-house paint and finish capabilities for our high-volume eVTOL program that blends aerospace quality and certification rigor with automotive-level automation and throughput. The Staff Manufacturing Engineer - Paint role will lead process development, equipment selection, supplier integration, and production ramp for surface preparation, primer, basecoat, clearcoat, masking/demasking, curing/oven systems, and final inspection/repair workflows. This role coordinates Industrial Design, Design Engineering, Materials & Processes, and external coating/booth equipment suppliers to move paint systems from NPI into robust production.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead end-to-end development of paint and coating processes (pretreatment, primer, base, clear, specialty coatings) suited to composite and metallic aircraft structures
  • Define paint line concepts (booths, pretreatment, ovens/cure, conveyors/handling, robotics/automation, filtration and airflow topology) and produce equipment procurement specs
  • Partner with Industrial Design and Design Engineering to translate aesthetic and tolerancing requirements into processable paint solutions
  • Work with the Materials & Processes Team to qualify coatings, surface prep requirements, chemistries, corrosion protection, and ensure compatibility with bonding/assembly processes
  • Manage supplier selection, technical integration, FAT/SAT, installation oversight, and handover to production
  • Develop control plans, work instructions, process parameters (temperature, humidity, air balance, film thickness, bake cycles), SPC charts, and poka-yoke for critical steps
  • Design and deploy automation where it increases throughput and consistency (robotic application, automated masking/demasking, part tracking). Balance capital vs. part-rate tradeoffs
  • Lead NPI-to-production qualification: pilot runs, capability studies, first-article acceptance, lessons-learned, and ramp risk management
  • Ensure environmental, health & safety, and permitting compliance (VOC control, filtration/waste handling, hazardous materials management) and work with EH&S and local permitting teams
  • Troubleshoot quality escapes, run RCAs and implement corrective/preventive actions
  • support warranty/field touch-up processes
  • Develop robust fixturing and material handling solutions

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years hands-on experience developing and running industrial paint/coating processes in aerospace or automotive manufacturing (or combination)
  • Experience with both manual and automated application systems required
  • Demonstrated experience specifying and commissioning paint booths, pretreatment lines, ovens, robotics and paint application equipment, and managing supplier FAT/SAT
  • Experience with process control tools (SPC, FMEA, control plans), root-cause problem solving, and NPI-to-production ramp methodologies
  • Working knowledge of coating chemistries, VOC and environmental controls, and air filtration/airflow design for paint booths
  • Proficiency using 2D & 3D CAD to generate manufacturing layouts, assembly models, and detailed part drawings for fabrication
  • Strong project management, cross-functional communication, and supplier management skills
  • Ability to write technical specs and run technical acceptance tests
  • Able to maintain organization and focus in a highly dynamic environment
  • Prefer ability to travel 10% of the time, both domestically and internationally

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with aerospace quality/regulatory expectations (FAA/EASA style artifacts)
  • Prior experience in an automotive high-throughput paint environment or with companies that blend automation and coatings (e.g., OEM paint shops)
  • Experience with composite part painting and knowledge of adhesion, outgassing, and cure concerns for composite substrates
  • NX software experience
  • Experience developing production lines from prototype to production
  • Experience with PLM, MES, and ERP software
  • Direct experience programming and troubleshooting industrial automation (PLC, robots, conveyors, etc…)
