Joby OverviewLocated in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onwards toward certifying the Joby aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, scaling our manufacturing, and preparing to launch commercial service in 2025.

OverviewThe role involves developing, testing and deploying embedded drivers and algorithms for aircraft's flight sensors systems which are responsible for producing navigation and air data for the integrated flight propulsion and control system. The engineer will be part of a small, fast-moving team and contribute to conceptual system architectural design and implementation of embedded software to ensure safety of an electric-powered, fly-by-wire aircraft.

Develop embedded system architecture

Write software for the flight sensors systems

Develop algorithms to fuse sensor data and monitor sensor health

Test algorithms and software

Required

Bachelors in aerospace/mechanical engineering, computer science, or related field and 5+ years of industry experience in software engineering or an advanced degree (MS or PhD) and 3+ years industry experience in software engineering
