Description

Company 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. 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. Overview In this role, you’ll lead Joby’s energy storage and distribution system software team. This system is responsible for safely powering the aircraft, managing high voltage systems, and providing state-of-x estimates to the pilot and control system. This team is responsible for developing, testing, and deploying all software pertaining to this system – from high level algorithms to embedded drivers. As this software includes both C++ and model-based elements, and many aspects of this software are safety critical, the code must be DO-178C and DO-331 compliant. Achieving this will be an important objective of the role, and will be closely supported by Joby’s systems engineering and broader software organizations. Responsibilities Team Lead: Lead and mentor a team of software and control algorithm engineers responsible for delivering battery management systems software development. Lead and mentor a team of battery system modelling engineers responsible for modelling battery system performance for design and controls. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and refine battery system requirements, operational constraints. Work closely with different stakeholders to understand battery operating conditions, limitations, and BMS requirements for control and estimation. Develop, review, and optimize embedded software to translate BMS requirements into reliable, high-performance code. Perform data analysis and testing to support algorithm development and validation Ensure BMS software meets DO-178C and DO-331 certification standards through rigorous documentation, testing, and validation. Manage milestones, schedules, and deliverables for BMS software development. Provide technical mentorship, training, and growth opportunities for team members. IPT Lead: Define product roadmap though collaboration with mechanical, cell, electrical engineering and aircraft system modelling team Represent the battery IPT at executive and department program reviews Develop program schedules in collaboration with program management team Triage manufacturing and field issues and address with on-team labor or through collaboration with hardware teams Negotiation, planning and execution of regulatory pathway Required Team Lead: Demonstrated success in leading software engineering teams, including mentoring, task prioritization, and performance management in a fast-paced environment At least 3 years of hands-on experience developing software for Li-ion battery management systems, including state estimation and fault diagnostics. Bachelor's degree in computer science/engineering, robotics, electrical engineering, or equivalent and 7+ years of industry experience. Expert-level C++, Matlab/Simulink, and Python coding skills Experience with collaborative software developing tools, with an emphasis on version control (git) and continuous integration Proficiency in developing software for real-time operating systems (RTOS), debugging embedded systems, and optimizing performance on constrained hardware. Strong communication and documentation skills IPT Lead: Strong understanding of battery physics, packaging and electrical control and safety circuits Experience with product development program planning and budgeting Experience with RTCA standards for aircraft battery and electronics systems Desired Experience with DO-178C and/or DO-331 compliant software projects Advanced degree in engineering Familiarity with Linux Familiarity with Ethernet/UDP 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.
