Joby Flight Research 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.

Joby Aviation’s Flight Research team is looking for a driven Navigation Software Engineer to contribute to the research and development of autonomous aircraft.

We are a small, close-knit and agile team; you will work closely with radar, perception, controls, and autonomy engineers in Germany, Austria, and California to develop state estimation and navigation algorithms to support the development of advanced autonomy capabilities.

The role focuses on state estimation, inertial navigation, and the fusion of radar and vision-based measurements into robust navigation solutions. You will develop and evaluate navigation algorithms, build sensor simulation capabilities, and analyze navigation performance using both simulated and real-world flight data.

We're looking for someone who delivers high-quality flight software, acts with agency, and is capable of picking up a wide variety of tasks spanning research prototyping, production flight software, and analysis tooling.

Joby Aviation is an equal opportunity employer.
