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:

  • Architect, build, and maintain Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows and automated testing pipelines for the GNC, Vehicle Simulation, Vehicle Management and Integrated Test/Labs groups using tools like GitHub Actions and TeamCity.
  • Support developing and maintaining automated toolchains to generate, compile, and deploy Simulink and MATLAB code across multiple targets, including desktop simulation environments, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) lab hardware, and flight computers for both subscale and full-scale vehicles.
  • Architect new, and manage existing, High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure to support large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, batch regression testing, and parallelized simulations and testing
  • Manage the critical software interfaces between the "Virtual Vehicle" (Simulink models) and downstream platforms, including managing Interface Control Documents (ICDs), data dictionaries, and signal mapping to embedded middlewareServe as the primary technical bridge between the Flight Dynamics & Control (FD&C) team and the Platform embedded software team, ensuring that complex algorithms translate predictably to real-time execution.

  • Ability to use, understand and leverage modern LLMs and AI based coding tools.
  • Experience with Linux operating system environment

Bonus Qualifications: 

  • Direct experience developing or verifying GNC/Vehicle Simulation systems in simulation or on hardware is a major plus!
  • Proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink, specifically including auto-code generation tools (Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder).
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) like Linux Preempt RT, VxWorks, or QNX.
  • Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems (e.g., Speedgoat, 
  • dSPACE).
  • Knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422) and middleware (DDS, ROS2).
  • Experience with Model-Based Design (MBD) certification standards like DO-331 or safety-critical software development (DO-178C).

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
