About the job
Archer Aviation is a pioneering aerospace firm headquartered in San Jose, California, dedicated to developing all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Our mission is to innovate sustainable air mobility solutions that prioritize environmental responsibility while providing efficient transport options. Our aircraft is designed to accommodate four passengers and operates with minimal noise, setting a new standard for urban air travel.
We believe that tackling complex challenges requires a diverse team that fosters creativity and insight. Archer is committed to establishing an inclusive and equitable workplace that values the unique contributions of every team member, driving us toward collective success.
As the Operations Program Manager (OPM) at Archer, you will be at the forefront of executing critical, cross-functional initiatives that are essential for the production and deployment of our eVTOL aircraft. This position demands a mix of technical expertise, operational discipline, and strategic leadership.
In this role, you will oversee our powertrain prototype and production lines, focusing on scaling operations from low to high-rate production. You will serve as a central figure coordinating between engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and commercial teams, orchestrating pre-production builds, ensuring supplier and factory readiness, validating systems, and driving initiatives from development to scale. Your engagement will span all levels of the organization, collaborating directly with technicians and engineers while providing strategic direction to executives and external partners.
The ideal candidate will be an adept problem solver with experience in powertrain, aerospace, or complex manufacturing environments, thriving in uncertain situations and consistently delivering results both tactically and strategically.
