About the role
Archer Aviation is a pioneering aerospace company headquartered in San Jose, California, focused on developing an innovative all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Our mission is to propel the future of sustainable air mobility by creating aircraft that transport four passengers with minimal noise and environmental impact.
We are committed to engaging in challenging engineering problems and fostering a diverse workplace that enhances our ability to innovate. We believe inclusivity is essential for success, and we strive to create an environment where every team member's unique perspectives are valued and celebrated.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct aerodynamic design and simulations for Archer's eVTOL aircraft utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
- Perform aerodynamic shape optimizations for various components of Archer vehicles.
- Develop and uphold high-fidelity models for Archer's eVTOL aircraft.
- Create high-quality surfaces for Outer Mold Line (OML) definition.
- Validate CFD simulation results against lower-fidelity simulations, flight test data, and wind tunnel experiments.
- Assist in the aerodynamic vehicle design process throughout all project phases, from conceptualization to certification.
