About this role

Archer, an aerospace company developing all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, seeks an Electrical Engineer to lead battery management system hardware design from conception through production. You'll own high-voltage BMS PCBAs, coordinate cross-functional integration, and ensure safety and reliability across all operating conditions.

What you'll do

  • Lead BMS PCBA design lifecycle including simulation, schematics, layout, routing, and manufacturing reviews
  • Collaborate with mechanical and software teams to integrate battery hardware into the aircraft pack
  • Design circuits for diagnostic coverage, redundancy, and fault-tolerance aligned with safety goals
  • Conduct hands-on PCBA bring-up and verification across operating conditions and fault scenarios
  • Support production needs including design-for-test, failure analysis, and build process development
  • Facilitate hardware fault injection testing and coordinate with software and controls engineers

What they're looking for

  • High-voltage battery systems and BMS electronics design
  • Altium Designer PCB design and layout
  • Circuit simulation tools (LTSpice or equivalent)
  • PCB design standards (IPC-610, IPC-2221, IPC-2222)
  • Complex electrical circuit design and verification
  • Lab equipment operation and troubleshooting
  • Cross-functional collaboration and technical communication
  • Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles
