Description

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. Overview You will be responsible for designing and implementing the embedded C++ software that runs on our electric-powered, fly-by-wire aircraft. You’ll also collaborate with systems engineers and hardware designers to author software requirements and integrate complex systems. You will be involved in all facets of our software design and development. Examples of safety critical on aircraft projects that you may be focused on are: Communications and Networking System - Contribute to the embedded software and design that is the communications backbone of the Joby aircraft. Motor Inverter – Contribute to the software that operates and manages the electric motors of our Joby aircraft. Flight Control Computer - work with all parts of the aircraft software team to provide a robust and testable Hardware Abstraction Layer to support simulation and hardware emulation. Collaborate with systems engineers and hardware designers to author software requirements and integrate specialized hardware into a unified framework. Flight Critical Subsystems - All the aircraft’s subsystems are fully designed by Joby. The Joby Embedded Software team is responsible for all the software that makes the aircraft fly. There are opportunities to join various other software projects. Having a strong understanding of system, software, microcontroller, and FPGA designs are all desired.
