Archer is an aerospace company 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:
Architect and design advanced state estimation algorithms for eVTOL aircraft, ensuring safety while considering performance, robustness, and computational efficiency
Implement state estimation algorithms, primarily in Simulink, ensuring adherence to modeling standards and best practices
Integrate state estimation solutions with various hardware components, including air data systems, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and other aviation-grade sensors
Synthesize system requirements used to drive design and ensure cross-functional needs are met
Develop and execute creative verification and validation (V&V) strategies for state estimation algorithms, including simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and flight testing
Develop and refine models to simulate sensors in nominal, degraded operation, and failure scenarios
Analyze and interpret data from simulation, lab testing, and flight testing to identify issues and characterize real-world performance
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including control laws, hardware, software, and test engineers, to solve complex aircraft-level problems and ensure seamless integration
Build tools and processes to maximize engineering capability
Requirements:
9+ years of experience in the design, implementation, and verification of state estimation algorithms
Master's or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
Proficiency in Simulink/MATLAB for algorithm development and simulation
Experience with sensor fusion from various sources, including INS, GNSS, airspeed sensors, and altimeters
Demonstrated ability to think critically from high-level architecture down to low-level implementation details
Proven track record of developing effective V&V methodologies
Working level knowledge of ARP4754A, DO-178C, and DO-331
Nice to have:
Hands-on experience with flight testing and test plan development
Previous experience with flight control or state estimation systems for aircraft such as eVTOLS, helicopters, or fixed-wing airplanes
Working knowledge of control algorithms
Experience working with aerospace data buses and communication protocols
Experience working with regulation authorities
Experience developing or testing fly-by-wire flight control systems
