Full 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. Our sights are set high and our problems are hard, and we believe that diversity in the workplace is what makes us smarter, drives better insights, and will ultimately lift us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members. About the role: Archer is building the Midnight aircraft on an aggressive program timeline, and our aerospace engineering teams — structures, GN we're hiring for the bar, not the tenure. A genuine, sustained obsession with AI coding and agentic tools. You use Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent every day. You've shipped non-trivial things with them. You have informed, opinionated views on what works, what doesn't, and where the frontier is moving — and you can back those views up with what you've built. Demonstrated ability to drive change across an engineering org without direct authority. You've been the person who got senior, skeptical engineers to adopt a new way of working, and you can point to specific examples. Strong programming fundamentals — Python at minimum. You don't have to be a software engineer, but you have to be able to build real, useful things end-to-end and ship them to other engineers. Excellent written and verbal communication. You can pitch a strategy to engineering leadership in the morning and coach a structural analyst through their first agentic workflow in the afternoon. Strongly preferred: Experience in eVTOL, aviation, aerospace, or another safety-critical / regulated industry. Fluency with engineering tooling that aerospace teams actually use: MATLAB, the Python scientific st
