About the role
Company Overview
Joby Advanced Development designs, develops, and flight-tests novel aircraft using a software-first autonomy approach. We build and deploy autonomy, perception, planning, and radar systems across conventional, electric, and hydrogen-electric aircraft in both CTOL and VTOL configurations.
Overview
Joby Advanced Development is seeking an Autonomy Senior Robotics Engineer, to design and build the AI robotics software for our Superpilot™ autonomy stack. This position offers a unique opportunity to invent and build the algorithms and systems that power Joby’s varied fleet of autonomous aircraft. In this role, you will design and develop solutions for aircraft autonomy involving perception, navigation, and simulation. You will work closely with other software engineers and AI experts in computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. The role requires deep expertise with robotics algorithms, hands-on software engineering, and autonomous systems industry experience.
You will design and develop robust perception and navigation software for autonomous flight. Further, you will also build software systems for simulation, mapping, and advanced sensing with cameras, lidars, and radar. Your work will help teams deploy state-of-the-art AI algorithms and systems for autonomous flight on multiple types of aircraft.
We are a small, high-impact team that values curiosity, technical initiative, and the ability to operate independently. You will collaborate deeply with sensing, controls, and flight software engineers to build a foundation that accelerates our path to safe, autonomous flight. The right candidate is a strong autonomy robotics engineer who cares deeply about system design, software engineering, and enabling fast, safe iteration across multiple aircraft programs.
