Aerospace Sensor Modeling Engineer (Simulink/HIL)

Archer; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Archer is seeking a highly skilled engineer to architect and design physics-based sensor models for eVTOL aircraft. You will own the end-to-end development lifecycle—from architecture and implementation to testing and lab integration.

You will develop models for IMU, GNSS, INS, air data systems, and radar altimeters; implement them in Simulink; and collaborate with state estimation, control, and simulation engineers to drive accurate, efficient simulations and robust sensor software.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in the design, implementation, and testing of simulation models for physical systems.
• Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Simulink for large scale modeling, simulation, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) integration.
• Deep technical experience with a variety of sensors used in aerospace.
• Demonstrated ability to think critically from high-level architecture down to low-level implementation details.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design physics-based sensor models across varying levels of fidelity for eVTOL aircraft
• Own the end-to-end development lifecycle for sensor models, encompassing architecture, implementation, testing, and lab integration
• Develop models spanning sensors such as IMU, GNSS, INS, air data systems, and radar altimeters
• Implement all sensor models in Simulink, adhering to modeling standards and best practices for model management
• Analyze and interpret data from simulation, lab testing, and flight testing to identify model inaccuracies and characterize real-world sensor performance
• Collaborate with state estimation, control law, and simulation engineers to ensure models enable effective simulation testing
• Build tools and processes to improve maintainability and enhance simulation performance
