What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer, Flight Simulator position at Joby Aviation?
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
The successful candidate will play a key role in a small, fast-moving team responsible for the architecture, design, and implementation of a robust, deterministic, and highly scalable flight training simulator. They will work closely with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, data scientists, pilots, and other stakeholders to create and improve one of the highest fidelity training devices.
We are looking for talented engineers with object-oriented programming (OOP) C development skills who can design and build a high-fidelity simulator that will help drive the pilot training activities for a one-of-a-kind fully electric aircraft.
Responsibilities
Typical expected tasks include the software design, development, and integration efforts pertaining to a wide range of areas, such as the Instructor Operating Station (IOS), After-Action Review (AAR)/debrief station, motion-base, sound, Image Generator (IG), control-loading, and more. We will be integrating many external interfaces from both internal and external third-party suppliers from the ground up, so versatility and an appetite for learning are key!
NOTE : This role does not involve Simulink or MATLAB modeling activities of aircraft devices.
Required
Desired
Please still apply if you don’t meet all items in the desired section! Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse and effective workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay, bonus and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $157,800 - $212,000/yr . The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
