<div class="content-intro">Headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, Archer is a leader in the next-gen aerospace sector building an end-to-end advanced air mobility platform that delivers air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”), aviation-related physical artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions, and other technologies to customers worldwide across the commercial aerospace and defense sectors. 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.</div>At Archer, we’re scaling production of our High Voltage Electric Propulsion System — the heart of our eVTOL aircraft, which includes the High Voltage Battery, Electric Motor and Propeller assemblies and represents one of the most technically demanding, highly automated manufacturing systems in our factory. We are seeking a deeply technical, hands-on Sr. Manufacturing Design Engineer to serve as the primary bridge between R&D product design and physical production execution. In this role, you will lead complex electric propulsion hardware (stators, rotors, housings, gearboxes) through its full evolution—from early-stage prototyping to repeatable, scalable mass production. You will thrive in high-ownership environments, applying structured engineering principles to solve complex manufacturing challenges under tight schedules. Your primary focus will be establishing, validating, and optimizing production systems for the EPS across multiple aircraft programs. What You’ll Do: <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Spearhead DFM/DFA initiatives, collaborating with cross-functional teams (Product Design, Quality, Facilities) to optimize electric powertrain system (EPS) manufacturability.</li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">NPI & Prototype Execution: Lead initial prototype build plans, execute process trials, develop custom tooling, and drive system builds through equipment qualification and production ramp-up.</li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Automation & Tooling Specs: Define technical specifications for automation equipment, tools, and custom fixtures, managing vendor development through final Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT).</li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Line Design & MBOM Development: Develop comprehensive build plans, including plant line layouts, optimized part flow, manufacturing methods, and accurate Manufacturing Bills of Materials (MBOM).</li&
