Joby's Flight Research group is looking for a skilled embedded SW/HW engineer to play a pivotal role in the development of cutting-edge flight automation systems and novel aircraft configurations. 

This engineer will work at the intersection of Software and Hardware, supporting development workstreams end to end from design, testing to continued support for new embedded systems and devices. 

The individual will also contribute heavily to software and hardware in the loop simulation and test development. We're looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes full ownership, and consistently delivers high-impact results.

• Support development workstreams for integration of embedded systems for safety critical applications
• Develop hardware and software to support aircraft and test capabilities 
• Integrate sensors to the embedded flight software stack using communication protocols such as I2C, CAN, SPI, UART, etc.

• 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.
• Experience in C, C++, Python, and Git.
• Experience in Altium Designer, KiCAD, Allegro or EAGLE 
• Understanding of communication protocols, and the roles played by electrical hardware in embedded systems.
• Understanding of mixed-signal and low-voltage power circuit design  
• Experience with test equipment such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes 

This position must meet US export control compliance requirements, therefore a candidate must qualify as a “US Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15. “US Person” includes US Citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, or asylees.
