Senior Software Engineer, Integrated Vehicle Simulator

$174.3k - $205.9k

Joby Aviation

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

Joby Aviation is seeking a driven engineer with C++ development skills and experience, an ability to understand complex problems and create reliable, repeatable solutions. This engineer will play a key role in a small, fast-moving team. They will participate in architecture, design, and implementation of solutions that support and expand our integrated vehicle simulators. They will work with software and hardware engineers across the company to help them test and improve their solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Help maintain and improve solutions that combine simulated and hardware environments to test the behavior of on-vehicle software as if it were on the vehicle
  • Architect, design, and develop improvements and extensions for simulation software
  • Enhance the simulations to more accurately reflect the behavior in actual vehicles of the software being tested
  • Enhance the performance and reliability of the simulation's solutions
  • Adapt simulations to new vehicle designs
  • Provide support and consulting to users of the simulation across the organization that depend on the simulators for their daily work
Required
  • University degree in computer science or computer engineering and 7+ years' industry experience. An advanced degree and 5+ years' experience will also be considered
  • Significant experience with and demonstrable expertise in OOP C++
  • Understanding of Continuous Integration, Continuous Development (CI/CD) and DevOps tools
  • Familiarity with Linux OS and command-line tools
  • Willingness to be flexible and learn new technologies
Desired
  • Understanding of aircraft and aviation (or development in a regulatory environment)
  • Network experience (VLANs, UDP, Wireshark, etc)
  • Experience working with the Linux scheduler
  • Experience developing software using Python
