Flight Test Software Engineer
  • Pyka
  • Alameda, CA FULL_TIME
  • Pyka is looking for a Flight Test Software Engineer to join our experienced team working on large autonomous airplanes. This role is split between software development and flight testing support. As part of the software team, you will be analyzing flight data and developing software features for the flight controller and ground control station software. You will spend about 20% of your time with the flight test team flying the aircraft and testing new software and hardware. This is an opportunity to work on safety-critical software and see it in action onboard the aircraft of the future.

    On a typical month you will spend a few days out with the flight team to fly our aircraft at our test sites in Dixon and Victoria Island, CA. You will be responsible for deploying new software to the aircraft and designing tests to ensure that the new software performs as expected. You will also learn how to operate the aircraft from the Ground Control Station, and act as the operator for some of the test flights. Your feedback to the software team will help direct development to improve safety, user experience, and functionality of the aircraft and operation. You will also take on the actual implementation of new features and bug fixes, and train the flight test team on new software changes.

    About Pyka

    Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.

    To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. 

    We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.

    Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. 

    Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries.
