Staff Artificial Intelligence Research Engineer (SJ2026YM)

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.

What Youll Do

• Design implement and evaluate novel machine learning and deep learning algorithms concentrating on Large Language Models (LLMs) automated speech recognition (transcription)and unified multimodal architectures.
• Iterate on AI model development startingfromthe data needed for training architecture input/output representations evaluation and deployment forcomplex sequence-to-sequence and multimodal tasks.
• Collaborate with other research engineers to prototype andvalidatecomplex solutions from academic literature in natural languageprocessing and speech.
• Conduct experiments to benchmark new techniques and evaluate model behavior.
• Develop tools and frameworks to support scalable and reproducible researchand development.
• Communicate research findings to leadership in a concise and convincing manner.
• Stay current with the latest developments in Generative AI and Speech/LanguageModels andidentifyrelevant innovations.
• Assistin transitioning research prototypes into production-ready systems.
