Sr. Aerodynamics Engineer, Modeling and Simulation

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: - Perform low/mid/high fidelity aerodynamic simulations of Archer eVTOL aircraft - Develop linear/non-linear aerodynamic models to predict aircraft behavior and performance throughout the flight envelope - Analyze experimental data (either from flight test or wind tunnel) to identify sources of model errors, validate, and improve aerodynamic models of the vehicle - Develop efficient methods to feed flight test data back into aerodynamic simulation models of various fidelity and complexity - Contribute to t...
