Joby is a California-based company building quiet, all-electric aircraft to connect people like never before. Quiet as a conversation and with the ability to take off and land vertically, the Joby aircraft will change the way we move while reducing the acoustic and climate footprint of flight.
This role will require a deep understanding of complex embedded systems, firmware, state machines, FPGA integration, high-power electronics, and more to design a robust, reliable, and safe motor control system. On this project you will be responsible for designing and implementing motor inverter embedded software, communicating with systems engineers on aircraft level effects, assisting in software requirements authoring, and working with the motor controls and algorithms team as well as much more.
Required
- University degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, mechatronics, physics, mathematics, or similar field; or, a strong portfolio of designed and implemented embedded software, or relevant industry experience.
- Knowledge of object-oriented programming methodology and multi-layered system architectures.
- Knowledge of C++
- Knowledge of and experience with communication protocols including I2C, CAN, SPI, UART, etc.
- 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.
- A positive attitude and a passion for aerospace!
Desired
- Understanding of modern micro-controller and microprocessor architectures such as ARM Cortex-M0/M3/M4/A8/A9.
- Exposure to the software development process and modern software engineering techniques
- Experience with DO178C process, requirements authoring and verification.
