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.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Product Designer to join Archer’s Design Studio in support of our in-house Product Development team, to design digital interfaces across mobile and desktop, internal and external facing. You will play a critical role in designing innovative features and products, ranging from internal proof-of-concept demos to customer-facing SaaS solutions for airline industry customers. Your work will shape intuitive, impactful, and scalable user experiences that align with our mission to deliver the future of cutting-edge airline solutions. 

You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design and develop Apps that meet customers' needs. The successful candidate will be passionate about creating intuitive solutions that will deliver our desired brand experience. They will collaborate proactively with other designers, engineers, and product stakeholders, using qualitative and quantitative data to make informed, design-related decisions. They should be proficient at converting requirements into practical product features aiming at delivering fluid and immersive App experiences.

The top priority is to keep the state of designs ready for development at least a sprint ahead of front-end engineers, when possible, and supporting them through phases of implementation (from “MVP” and beyond) to ensure ease and accuracy of development, as well as address unforeseen edge-cases that often arise.
