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 be a key contributor to Joby’s energy storage and distribution system software team. This system is responsible for safely powering the aircraft, charging the batteries, managing high-voltage systems, and providing real-time state-of-charge and state-of-health estimates to the pilot and control system. You will focus on developing, testing, and deploying software for this system. Since this software includes both C++ and model-based elements and must meet stringent safety requirements, your code will be held to high safety and regulatory standards. You will work closely with systems engineering and software teams to ensure robust and reliable performance. Apply if you're excited about writing modern code for commercial aerospace systems.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for designing and implementing the embedded C++ software that runs on our electric-powered, fly-by-wire aircraft and battery ground support equipment. 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.
