$140k - $176k USD
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:
- As a dimensional engineer, you will leverage your extensive knowledge and experience to define, develop and execute the dimensional management for complete vehicle design architecture and assembly.
- You will create dimensional Tolerance stack models in 3DCS and work closely with Design, Manufacturing and Quality Engineering to validate those models to ensure that they are consistent with Archer’s process capabilities.
- Work on the development of gaging and indexing strategies, interact with the manufacturing and integration team to drive the strategies for better product dimensional quality.
- You will work closely with design engineers to review and propose GD&T implementation, making recommendations for improvements in measurability and manufacturability.
- You will analyze, troubleshoot and develop control plan to meet vehicle dimensional metrics and contain variation
- You will drive dimensional build activities during tooling try outs at launch to achieve stable, repeatable and in-dimensional-specification hardware.
- Perform Virtual builds from the 3D scans.
