Software Engineer, Flight Systems

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 engineer will play a key role in a small, fast-moving team and participate in architecture design and implementation for our electric-powered, fly-by-wire aircraft. This engineer will work closely with the hardware, mechanical, integration, and flight-testing teams to design, develop, test and improve system-level behaviors. An understanding of embedded applications will be used to write multithreaded C++ code that is appropriate to our fly-by-wire aircraft.

We are looking for a talented Software Engineer with exceptional C++ skills to work on our core flight framework that flies our aircraft! This is the framework that powers all the software systems on the aircraft. The successful candidate will be designing clean C++ APIs used by all of the numerous computers on the aircraft and will also be improving the distributed computing framework used by all the computers. Additionally, you will work with system engineers to decompose equipment-level requirements into high-level and low-level software requirements in compliance with DO-178C. You will design, implement, and test flight-critical software components with C++ as well as integrate these into the larger system.
