About The Role

Joby Overview

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 onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

This engineer will be involved in the architecture and implementation of the embedded software at the heart of Joby Aviation aircraft. They will play a key role in a small, fast-moving team and have input into conceptual system design and implementation of embedded software for a wide range of embedded systems.

This role is located in our Santa Cruz HQ and remote is not an option.

Responsibilities

Their role will be to design and implement versions of all our existing embedded systems currently on the Joby aircraft to be specific for a range of manufacturing and test applications. This will require a deep understanding of the various embedded systems on the aircraft and how to creatively reconfigure them for new applications and usages.

Required

• University degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, mechatronics, physics, mathematics, robotics, or similar field; or, a strong portfolio of designed and implemented embedded software, or 3+ years of relevant industry experience. An advanced degree and 1+ year experience will also be considered.
• Demonstratable knowledge of C++ and object-oriented programming and methodology with some experience with multi-layered system architectures.
• Understanding of hardware from an embedded software engineer's perspective.
• Experience with modern integrated development environments and debuggers.
• Hands-on experience with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, voltmeters, etc.
• Understanding of modern microcontroller and microprocessor architectures such as ARM Cortex-M0/M3/M4/A8/A9.
• Knowledge of and experience with communication protocols including I2C, CAN, SPI, UART, etc.
• A positive attitude and a passion for aerospace!

Desired

• Knowledge of and experience with real-time operating systems.
• Experience with safety-critical embedded systems is a plus.
• Exposure to the software development process and modern software engineering techniques.
• Experience with DO178C process, requirements authoring and verification
