We are looking for a heavy-hitter to build the "Data Backbone" of our company. You will be responsible for the architecture, scaling, and reliability of the infrastructure that powers our Data Engineering and ML teams. Your goal is to provide a seamless, self-service environment where data scientists can go from a JupyterHub notebook to a massive Ray cluster or Trino query without worrying about the underlying hardware.

Responsibilities

• Data Plane Ownership: Architect and manage the lifecycle of high-throughput data tools including Trino, Ray, and JupyterHub on Kubernetes.
• GitOps & Automation: Drive a "zero-manual-touch" philosophy using ArgoCD and Terraform to manage complex, stateful data environments.
• Observability at Scale: Build high-cardinality monitoring systems using VictoriaMetrics and Vector to track pipeline health, data ingestion rates, and system performance.
• ML Lifecycle Support: Maintain and optimize MLflow for model tracking, ensuring it integrates deeply with our compute and storage layers.

• Senior Leadership: You’ve spent time in the trenches. You’ve been on-call for 2:00 AM outages and have built the automation to ensure those outages never happen twice.
• Tooling Polyglot: You don't just use tools; you contribute to them. You are comfortable writing Go or Python to extend Kubernetes Operators or automate data workflows.
• Self-Directed: You thrive in ambiguity. You can take a high-level requirement ("Make Trino faster") and turn it into a multi-week infrastructure roadmap.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

About The Role

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.

We are seeking a Senior Electrical (Test) Systems Engineer to serve as the ultimate authority on system health. This isn't a "follow the manual" role. 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.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose and resolve electrical faults in medium- to high-power test systems including voltage/current ripple, transient noise, EMI, and grounding failures, with full ownership of root-cause findings and mitigation recommendations
• Lead grounding architecture reviews and remediation across the lab, with specific focus on how high-voltage ground faults cascade into low-voltage instrumentation systems
• Set up and operate oscilloscopes, signal conditioning hardware, and bench instrumentation to characterize and isolate electrical anomalies in complex, integrated test environments
• Own ongoing support of delivered test systems including software updates, bug fixes, new feature integration, and in-field troubleshooting to ensure systems remain reliable as configurations evolve
• Build and maintain real-time test and control applications using NI VeriStand and LabVIEW, and interface with subsystems via CAN bus, Modbus, and related industrial communication protocols
• Support system bring-up, integration verification, and validation across hardware, controls, and software layers

What You Need

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (BS, MS, or PhD) or equivalent hands-on industry experience
• 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

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace, EV powertrain, motor drive, or power electronics test environments
• Familiarity with additional fieldbus or industrial protocols (EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, LIN, RS-232/485)
• Python or MATLAB scripting for data analysis or automation
• Background in HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) or real-time validation systems
• Familiarity with electrical CAD tools (EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical)
