Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead program execution for the Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) discipline, managing schedules, deliverables, and cross-team coordination. Oversee the integrated master schedule, budget tracking, and FAA certification activities for the Midnight aircraft.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in a technical field and 10+ years of aerospace program management experience with GNC or avionics exposure. Must be proficient in project scheduling tools and have experience with aviation certification standards like DO-178C.
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.
Archer is seeking an experienced GNC Engineering Project Manager to lead program execution within our Guidance, Navigation & Control discipline. You will be the primary driver of schedule, delivery, and cross-team coordination for all GNC deliverables — spanning flight control laws, state estimation, navigation systems, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing infrastructure. This is a deeply technical program management role that requires both aerospace domain fluency and exceptional organizational leadership. You will partner closely with GNC engineers, Systems Engineering, Flight Test, Software, and Certification to ensure GNC milestones support the overall Midnight aircraft development and certification program.
This Role reports directly to the Director of SW Programs.
Please note that this job description is intended to provide a general overview of the position and does not include an exhaustive list of responsibilities and qualifications.
At Archer we aim to attract, retain, and motivate talent that possess the skills and leadership necessary to grow our business. We drive a pay-for-performance culture and reward performance that supports the Company’s business strategy. For this position we are targeting a base pay between $199,000.00 - $248,800.00. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
