Archer chooses Bristol as the home of its UK Engineering Hub

Archer has select­ed Bris­tol as the home of its UK Engi­neer­ing Hub, which will sup­port some of the company’s most advanced engi­neer­ing ini­tia­tives across both its com­mer­cial and defense pro­grammes. 

With a long his­to­ry of aero­space inno­va­tion and a deep well of tal­ent, Archer says Bris­tol offers an ide­al loca­tion and since it announced plans to estab­lish a site in the UK back in Decem­ber 2025, the com­pa­ny has received hun­dreds of appli­ca­tions and already begun hir­ing engi­neers to help Archer deliv­er the next era of advanced aero­space and defense. 

Adam Gold­stein, CEO and founder of Archer, said: “We want to hire the best engi­neers the UK has to offer. Bris­tol has a strong indus­tri­al base and a deep tal­ent pool that makes that pos­si­ble. This mar­ket is a big area of focus for us mov­ing for­ward and our UK hub will be our home base.”

This work­force will help dri­ve Archer’s local col­lab­o­ra­tion with Anduril UK and GKN, ini­tial­ly focused on the com­pa­nies’ joint work in sup­port of the British Army’s Project NYX and the Min­istry of Defence’s Land Autonomous Col­lab­o­ra­tive Plat­form pro­gramme. 

Archer’s defense work is anchored by its strate­gic part­ner­ship with Anduril, which select­ed Archer as its exclu­sive part­ner to devel­op a hybrid-elec­tric VTOL air­craft tai­lored for the US and allied defense appli­ca­tions.
