Archer Technologies is an aerospace company building all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for sustainable air mobility. This role leads supplier quality and manufacturing engineering efforts for a production ramp of advanced electrical and electronic systems.
You will own supplier industrialization, quality assurance, and manufacturing readiness across critical supply chain partners. Your responsibilities include:
• Lead and mentor a technical team through OEM production ramp, balancing immediate tactical problem-solving with long-term process scalability
• Manage supplier quality for electrical and electronic components: PCB/PCBA, wiring harnesses, connectors, semiconductors, power electronics assemblies, avionics, and flight control systems
• Conduct on-site troubleshooting at supplier facilities to resolve complex manufacturing and integration issues
• Ensure compliance with AS9100, AS9145 (APQP/PPAP), IPC-A-610, and IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards in regulated aerospace environments
• Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) to drive root-cause resolution
• Assess supplier tooling, fixturing, and test infrastructure for robustness, thermal stability, and consistent quality at production rate
• Translate technical risks into clear, actionable insights for executive leadership and cross-functional partners in Engineering and Supply Chain
• Leverage PLM, ERP, and QMS systems to drive supplier transparency and data-driven quality decisions
• Support FAA/EASA Type Certification (TC) and Production Certification (PC) programs
Required: 10+ years in Supplier Industrialization, Manufacturing Engineering, or Quality Engineering with deep expertise in electrical/electronic components. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related STEM field. Proven shop-floor credibility troubleshooting PCBA fabrication, cable/harness manufacturing, box builds, and high-reliability electrical system integration. Experience building or leading technical teams through production ramps in aerospace, automotive, or high-reliability electronics environments.
Desired: Hands-on experience with electronics manufacturing in aerospace or high-regulatory environments. FAA/EASA certification program support. Expertise in tooling assessment and process control. Advanced degree preferred.
