• Author and take responsibility for the flight control and actuation system-level product requirements while ensuring compatibility with all interfacing systems.
• Ensure the requirement set is complete and correct, with traceability to and fulfilling business, technical, and operational objectives

• Create wiring diagrams and associated wire harness drawing documentation using Mentor Graphics Capital, Logic and HarnessXC
• Understand and implement communication protocols (ARINC, CAN, Ethernet, Serial)

• Build and scale the organization: Lead two dedicated teams across Test Operations & Execution and Test Development & Design to support daily production and next-generation automation.
• Own the functional test lifecycle: Drive end-to-end testing across avionics, low-voltage, and high-voltage systems, managing everything from ATP authoring and floor execution to airworthiness compliance records.

• Conceptually size the primary aerodynamic surfaces (wing, tail/empennage) for a tiltrotor/eVTOL configuration against mission requirements across different use cases.
• Use low-fidelity aerodynamic tools such as AVL, OpenVSP, or similar, together with handbook methods (e.g., Hoerner, Roskam), to build up the vehicle's drag polar across the flight envelope.

• Lead and coordinate BMS simulation modeling with individual team members and subject matter experts across Battery Engineering and its teammates/partners.
• Work closely with stakeholders to define simulation requirements.

• Design and Engineering
• Lead the development and optimizing the complete layout of the aircraft structures and sub-system integration

• Independently lead the architectural design, embedded development, and verification of safety-critical software components for the aircraft Charge Control Unit (CCU).
• Direct the implementation of charge control systems, serving as the primary technical authority for interfacing complex embedded software with high-voltage (800V+) electrical components and analog/digital circuitry.

• Perform embedded development and verification of safety critical software components for the aircraft Charge Control Unit.
• Design and implement charge control systems with a focus on interfacing embedded software with high-voltage electrical components and analog/digital circuitry.

• Architect, design, and implement distributed data services to support largescale data processing needs.
• Lead the orchestration and optimization of high-volume ETL pipelines for timeseries and telemetry data, including end-to-end pipelines critical to flight test programs.

• Build and maintain Archer's M&A target pipeline, including sourcing and screening targets
• Conduct market research and strategic analysis across the aerospace, defense, and aviation software sectors, including TAM, market mapping, and competitive landscape assessments

• Lead integration planning and execution for each of Archer’s acquisitions, from diligence through post-close and into steady-state operations
• Own and run the Integration Management Office (IMO), serving as the primary point of contact for Archer’s executive team, functional leads, and leaders of acquired companies

• Design and build simulation environments for integrated labs, HILs and SW benches used in aircraft validation and verification
• Own the tools and interfaces for the labs, optimizing workflows and ensuring configuration management and traceability that supports certification and regulatory requirements
