Senior Metallics Engineer Aerospace M&P (eVTOL)

Archer; San Jose (CA); Sur place; USD 219 000 - 274 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Archer is seeking an experienced Materials and Processes (M&P) Engineer to serve as the Metallics SME for the airframe of our next-generation eVTOL program. You will own metallic material decisions from alloy selection to FAA certification, in a fast-paced environment that demands urgency and precision.

You will collaborate across stress, design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and certification teams to mature Archer’s M&P capabilities, drive qualification, and develop robust material

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering; master’s or PhD preferred.
• 8+ years aerospace M&P experience focused on metallic materials and processes.
• Experience with FAA (or equivalent EASA/military) certification activities.

Responsabilités

• Serve as the M&P Metallics SME; owning metallic material and process decisions for aluminum, titanium, steel, and corrosion-resistant alloys used in structure, engine, battery components, fittings, and fasteners.
• Develop compliance data and substantiation for M&P-related airworthiness requirements, and interface with the FAA, DERs, and internal certification teams to support certification activities.
• Cross-functional partnership with stress, design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and certification teams to keep the program moving.
• Help build Archer’s M&P metallics capability, including lab test methods, processes, tools, and mentorship of junior engineers.
• Plan and execute metallic material and process qualification programs, including test plans, conformity, data review, and reports; establish material strength properties and design values using MMPDS.
• Author and maintain Archer material and process specifications, design guidelines, and standards including heat treatment, surface treatment, plating, shot peening, welding/joining, machining, and inspection requirements.
• Lead alloy, temper, and product-form selection balancing strength, fatigue, corrosion resistance, weight, and manufacturability.
• Define corrosion prevention and control requirements for metallic structure, including galvanic compatibility and dissimilar-material isolation.
• Support manufacturing and suppliers through MRB dispositions, nonconformance resolution, FAI, and supplier audits.
• Lead failure analysis and root cause investigations using fractography, metallography, SEM/EDS, and hardness testing.

Formation

Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
