Requirements

Proven experience personally diagnosing and resolving faults in high-power or high-voltage electrical systems with root cause ownership, not just oversight

Deep hands-on expertise with grounding architecture in mixed high/low voltage environments, including experience solving real grounding failures that impacted low-voltage instrumentation

Expert-level proficiency with oscilloscopes, signal conditioning hardware, and bench instrumentation as everyday diagnostic tools

Working knowledge of CAN bus and Modbus in deployed, real-world systems and not coursework or theoretical familiarity

Experience with NI VeriStand and/or LabVIEW for real-time test and control applications, with the ability to troubleshoot across hardware, controls, and software layers

Demonstrated ability to support and evolve test systems post-delivery, comfortable owning sustaining engineering, software updates, and fielded system troubleshooting alongside greenfield work

Responsibilities

At Archer’s Product Realization Lab, we build the high-power electromechanical infrastructure that makes flight possible.

From megawatt-scale dynamometers to complex electrical test stands, we own the full stack: integration, software, and controls.

Senior Electrical (Test) Systems Engineer

to serve as the ultimate authority on system health.

You’ll be operating at the volatile intersection of high-voltage power and sensitive low-voltage instrumentation—a boundary where noise, grounding issues, and transients create real-world consequences.

We need a battle-tested expert who has seen these systems fail in industry and knows exactly how to build them to last.
