Headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, Archer is a leader in the next-gen aerospace sector building an end-to-end advanced air mobility platform that delivers air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”), aviation-related physical artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions, and other technologies to customers worldwide across the commercial aerospace and defense sectors.
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.
Archer is best known for Midnight, our electric aircraft. This role isn't on that program. The AI Products Org builds consumer software for the general aviation industry. There's a lot we're not ready to talk about publicly yet, so this posting stays vague on purpose. What we can say: the products are real, they ship, and people use them every day.
As the Senior iOS Engineer, you'll own the iOS app of a mature consumer product — one that's been featured in the app stores multiple times and has a real user base that opens it every day. 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 while partnering closely with our in-house designers. You'll turn complex design concepts into seamless, shippable code and help steer the future of our digital flight tools.
What You’ll Do:
- Develop scalable, high-performance features for iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS
- Partner with designers to build intuitive UI/UX that follows platform best practices
- Refactor and modularize Swift and Objective-C code to improve quality and reusability
- Integrate RESTful APIs with efficient data handling and error management
- Manage the full app lifecycle, including builds, certificates, and App Store submissions
- Participate in code reviews and uphold best practices in architecture, testing, and Git
- Collaborate with our Backend Engineering Teams to troubleshoot issues and ensure seamless end-to-end integration
What You Need:
- 3+ years of commercial software development experience, including the full iOS app lifecycle management
- Experience writing both Swift and Objective-C
- Strong knowledge of SwiftUI, UIKit, and other core Apple frameworks (specifically MapKit or similar mapping SDKs)
- Experience integrating REST APIs, with enough backend understanding to troubleshoot issues and contribute to API design
- Strong understanding of iOS build systems, provisioning, certificates, and App Store requirements
- Strong proficiency in Git
Bonus Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
- Experience in one (or all) of the following would be advantageous:
- Aviation
- Network-driven application development
- Experience working with Metal or OpenGL
About The Team:
AI Products is a roughly 100-person software org inside a company of aerospace engineers, and we expect to grow substantially over the next year. You get the resources and momentum of a real org, but the products themselves are early. If you want to hear more about what we're building before you apply, you can't. Apply, and we'll tell you plenty.
