Senior Structures Manufacturing Engineer Aerospace eVTOL

Archer; Santa Clara (CA); Sur place; USD 127 000 - 158 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Archer is scaling production of its all-electric eVTOL aircraft in Santa Clara, CA. The Sr. Manufacturing Engineer bridges aircraft design and production, driving a scalable manufacturing system as you transition from prototype builds to early production ramp.

You will lead structural assembly, develop tooling, and solve on-the-floor issues with cross-functional teams, while mentoring engineers and maintaining schedule and quality standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent).
• 5+ years in aerospace manufacturing, with a focus on assembly and integration; prototype or experimental aircraft experience strongly preferred.
• Proven track record of driving DFM for complex assemblies.
• Expertise in advanced manufacturing tools (CAD, PLM, MES).
• Ability to understand model based definition and interpret GD&T callouts.
• Well-developed leadership, communication, and cross-functional coordination skills to set direction and mentor a diverse engineering team.

Responsabilités

• Provide leadership and technical direction for structural assembly and integration processes, including prototype and production assembly sequencing.
• Leads the technical development of structural component builds, coordinating with design, quality, and certification to ensure manufacturability and compliance from concept to flight test readiness.
• Develops tooling and fixture solutions for prototype builds, ensuring high-precision requirements are met with practical designs tailored for low-volume, rapid-iteration environments.
• Provides technical expertise on the shop floor to resolve complex build issues, leading root-cause investigations and implementing corrective actions to ensure schedule, quality, and structural integrity.
• Act as liaison to adjacent business units (Design, Quality, Testing,) ensuring materials, documentation, and processes align with certification objectives.
• Mentor and guide manufacturing engineers and technicians, setting best practices, championing innovative problem-solving, and fostering a hands-on culture of ownership and accountability.
