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.

What You'll Do

• Lead and coordinate BMS simulation modeling with individual team members and subject matter experts across Battery Engineering and its teammates/partners.
• Create reduced order models to implement the functionality of complex physical plant models for BMS simulation.
• Manage and maintain multiple fidelity model libraries related to battery and battery controls simulations for internal customer team deliveries.
• Analyze simulation data to generate performance reports and metrics, provide clear, actionable insights on expected vs actual system behaviors.
• Implement continuous improvements to the models to ensure they remain accurate, reliable, and aligned with industry standards and customer expectations.
• Develop intuitive diagnostic interfaces for controllers to facilitate troubleshooting and maintenance.
• Validate simulation model performance, efficiency, accuracy, and stability, as well as identify and resolve any errors, faults, or failures through testing and data analysis.
• Create test cases and scripts to validate features in unit test, Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) test, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test environments.
• Assist in the execution of BMS software verification test plans and test automation.
• Execute SIL and HIL system tests under various conditions and scenarios- simulate the normal and abnormal operation modes of the battery.
• Support simulation test infrastructure for BMS verification as a mission-critical system.
• Maintain traceability between requirements and test results.
• Produce required artifacts to support software certification.

Minimum Education Requirement: Master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Energy Engineering.

Minimum Experience Requirement: Staff BMS Verification Engineer, Staff BMS Integration Engineer, or any related occupation or job title in which 5 years of experience with Electric Vehicles, Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing, Real-Time Simulation, MATLAB or Simulink, Physics-based Models, and developing simulation environments for integrated, complex algorithms and creating test cases for feature verification with traceability to requirements and test platforms in the Automotive or Aerospace industry was gained.

Alternate Education Requirement: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Energy Engineering.

Alternate Experience Requirement: Staff BMS Verification Engineer, Staff BMS Integration Engineer, or any related occupation or job title in which 7 years of experience with Electric Vehicles, Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing, Real-Time Simulation, MATLAB or Simulink, Physics-based Models, and developing simulation environments for integrated, complex algorithms and creating test cases for feature verification with traceability to requirements and test platforms in the Automotive or Aerospace industry was gained.
