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 This engineer will play a key role in a small, fast-moving team and participate in architecture, design, and implementation of motor control systems within 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. Responsibilities Sensored and sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motorsAdvanced inverter pulse-width modulation, position and velocity estimation, current control and efficiency optimizationDevelop fault detection, isolation, and reconfiguration logic for safety critical systemsClosed loop position control of simplex and duplex redundant servo actuation systems with redundant position sensors and multi-phase motors controlled from separate invertersOptimization of motor controls using MATLAB Simulink Develop wrappers and interfaces for the MATLAB Simulink code in C/C++Ensure inverter and motor systems meet performance requirements via controls algorithm development, implementation, Simulink simulation and hardware testingOversee dynamometer testing and interpretation of data for controls development, validation and improvementTuning and calibration of complete systems on dynamometers, on test stands, and on the aircraftUnit-tests for build environment, sub-system validation testing, integration testing, flight testing, processor/hardware in the loop testingDecompose system level requirements to software requirements Develop system level actuator models and integrate with inverters and servo controls for wholistic system level understanding of performance Required B.S degree in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field and 10+ years of related technical experience (including mechanical, electrical, computer and robotics / mechatronics engineering)Experience with actuation systems and/or servo control on safety critical applicationsExperience developing embedded applications in C/C++, MATLAB Simulink model-based design for controls developmentExperience with basic electronics debugging tools: oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power analyzerBasic understanding of version control technologiesExperience with processor/hardware in the loop (PIL/HIL) verification/debuggingExperience creating mathematical models of servo systems for system identification, analyses and simulationsKnowledge of electro-mechanical systems focusing on interactions between electrical and mechanical components in servo systemsAbility to be onsite regularly in San Carlos, CA Desired Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering or relevant fieldTechnical experience with aerospace actuation and controls system developmentKnowledge of control system design and principles of feedback control including PID control and advanced control techniques and their applications in the servo systemsKnowledge of real time bare-metal firmware developmentExperience with hard, real-time interrupt-driven software development Additional Information Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
