Archer Technologies is an aerospace company building all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for sustainable air mobility. The company is scaling production of its High Voltage Electric Propulsion System, which includes the battery, motor, and propeller assemblies—one of the most technically demanding, highly automated manufacturing systems in the factory.
As a Powertrain Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will lead end-of-line (EOL) and in-process test development for high-voltage batteries and electric motors, covering performance, safety, and system integration. You will design and deploy manufacturing test strategies including hipot, insulation resistance, winding verification, electromagnetic performance, and energy storage system (ESS) testing.
Key responsibilities include specifying, validating, and commissioning production test equipment (installation, FAT, production readiness); programming and optimizing automated test equipment (ATE), test sequences, pass/fail logic, and data collection systems; and partnering with Manufacturing, Design, Quality, and Test teams to integrate test stations into production lines while improving throughput, yield, and quality.
You will analyze production test data to identify trends, drive root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions. You'll support first article inspection (FAI), production qualification, and manufacturing process changes for new battery and motor builds. Direct troubleshooting of test equipment and production issues on the factory floor is expected, along with developing and maintaining test procedures, work instructions, and high-voltage safety documentation. You will own calibration, maintenance, and validation of manufacturing test equipment and contribute to process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA) and in-process quality control strategy.
Required: Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent. 3+ years of manufacturing test engineering experience; EV battery or electric motor production experience is strongly preferred.
