Joby Barnard
Senior Software Engineer, Embedded Flight Sensors
Joby Barnard, Santa Cruz, California, us, 95061
Joby Overview
Located 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.
The role involves developing, testing and deploying embedded drivers and algorithms for the aircraft's flight sensor 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 the safety of an electric-powered, fly-by-wire aircraft.
Responsibilities
Develop embedded system architecture Write software for the flight sensor 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 of industry experience in software engineering Demonstratable proficiency in C++ and Python Demonstratable proficiency in object-oriented programming methodology and multi-layer system architectures Comfortable implementing complex mathematical algorithms and bookkeeping schemes Basic understanding of version control technologies Eager to learn new techniques and experiment with advanced technologies Desired
Familiar with writing efficient, hardware-accelerated code (e.g., SIMD, GPU, or FPGA), especially for digital signal processing applications Proficient in Bayesian estimation concepts and Kalman filtering Proficient in statistics concepts and statistical data analysis Understanding of DO-178C or safety critical software Please still apply if you don’t meet all items in the desired section! Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification.
