<h2>Company Overview</h2><p>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.</p><h2>Overview</h2><p>The Hardware Emulation Team develops hardware-in-the-loop testing infrastructure for testing the flight electronics used on the Joby aircraft. The emulators themselves are embedded systems which emulate the behavior of sensors, actuators, and other peripheral devices on the aircraft. Emulator development is cross-disciplinary, often requiring a keen understanding of topics such as motor control, sensor modeling, networking, digital signals, physical system modeling, embedded systems and automation.</p><h2>Responsibilities</h2><p>We are seeking a passionate HW Emulation Lead to join our Automation Development Engineering Team in Santa Cruz, CA. The Emulation Lead will direct and contribute to the small team responsible for thoroughly understanding the electrical and software architecture of the aircraft and developing emulators that provide appropriate functional testing and fault injection capabilities. This will involve frequent collaboration with members from other teams including Systems Engineering, Flight Physics, Simulation, FPGA Development, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Flight Software, Software Verification, and Certification.</p><p> </p><p>We seek innovative self-starters who enjoy learning and working collaboratively. Developing modular, maintainable and well-documented software architectures is paramount. </p><h2>Required</h2><ul> <li>BS in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, mechatronics or similar field and 7+ years of industry experience. An advanced degree and 5+ years of industry experience will also be considered</li> <li>2+ years prior experience leading an embedded engineering development team</li> <li>Expert knowledge of C++</li> <li>Expert knowledge of object-oriented programming methodology and multi-layered system architectures</li> <li>Experience with communication protocols including I2C, CAN, SPI, UART, etc.</li> <li>Hands-on experience with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, voltmeters, etc.</li> <li>Ability to write software based on board schematics, datasheets, and hardware design documents</li> <li>Ability to comprehend complex system requirements to provide emulation software requirements</li> <li>Ability to understand written code in complex systems, perform code analysis, and distill information effectively</li> <li>Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)</li> <li>Basic familiarity with Python</li></ul><h2>Desired</h2><ul> <li>Experience with safety-critical embedded systems is a plus</li> <li>Experience with unit testing, integration testing, and hardware-in-the-loop testing is a plus</li> <li>Experience with DO-178C or similar assured software development process is a plus</li></ul><h2>Additional Information</h2><p>Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
