What You'Ll Do

As the Configuration Manager embedded within the Powertrain engineering group, you will own the configuration integrity of Archer's electric battery-powered propulsion system — from individual components through the aircraft-level assembly. You will be the CM expert that the powertrain team relies on daily, combining deep product familiarity with rigorous configuration management discipline. Your success is measured by the accuracy and traceability of powertrain BOM structures, the quality of change packages entering the Change Review Board, and the reliability of your coordination with supply chain and manufacturing to execute approved changes.
