Electrical Analysis Engineer, BMS

Archer•San Jose, CA

14h•$105,000 - $145,000

About The Position

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 an Electrical Analysis Engineer, you will work on circuit analysis within Archer’s high voltage battery management system. Specifically, you will Analyze circuit schematics, working closely with safety engineers to find single-point failures Analyze the system-level effects of individual component failures within PCBAs. Roll-up power consumption of the BMS PCBAs in each operating mode, and correlate to lab tests. Perform worst-case accuracy analysis on measurement circuits. Use circuit simulation tools to model and analyze hardware circuits in support of accuracy analyses. Use software for automated circuit analysis in support of schematic-level FMEAs. Analyze the system-level effects of single-event upsets and latch-ups. Support reliability engineers to understand electrical operating conditions and derive failure rates. Perform electrical stress analysis and component derating analysis on individual components. Work closely with design engineers, to ensure the BMS hardware meets Archer’s safety, accuracy, and reliability requirements.

Requirements

BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
3+ years of experience designing, modeling, or analyzing mixed-signal electrical circuits.
Experienced in circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice.
Excellent organizational, communication, and troubleshooting skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience with high voltage systems or battery electronics.
