Job Description
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. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.

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.
Responsibilities - Develop algorithms to fuse sensor data and monitor sensor health
- Develop embedded system architecture
- Write software for the flight sensors systems
- Test algorithms and software
Required - Bachelors in aerospace/mechanical engineering, computer science, or related field and 3+ years of industry experience in software engineering or an advanced degree (MS or PhD) and 1+ years industry experience in software engineering
- Demonstratable proficiency in C++ and python
- Demonstratable proficiency in object-oriented programming methodology and multi-layer system architectures
- Proficient in Bayesian estimation concepts and Kalman filtering
- Proficient in statistics concepts and statistical data analysis
- 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
- Understanding of DO-178C or safety critical software
