Archer
Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California building an all‑electric vertical take‑off 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.
At Archer Aviation, we are empowering pilots with next‑generation aviation technology. You will join a small, expert team with big ambitions, directly shaping an end‑to‑end product that blends artificial intelligence, aviation expertise, and seamless mobile user experience. Successfully launching and supporting a product like this also demands collaboration with AI engineers and designers. This role gives you meaningful ownership and a direct line to product impact – your work will define the benchmark for pilots’ digital cockpit assistance.

What You Need
3+ years of professional iOS development experience, especially for iPad
Fluency in Swift and familiarity with modern UIKit/SwiftUI architectures
Track record of shipping and supporting apps on the Apple App Store
Experience deploying on‑device machine learning with Core ML, MLX, or similar frameworks is a big plus
Familiarity with mapping technologies
Strong testing, debugging, and optimization skills for mission‑critical apps
Bonus Qualifications
Background or hands‑on experience in aviation, navigation, or weather‑related applications
Experience with ARKit, 3D graphics, or advanced visualization technologies
Understanding of aviation data formats, regulations, or EFB use cases
Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace, Software Engineering, or related field
Experience in small, agile teams and product development cycles
