Airplanes anyone can fly. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We're looking for an electrical engineer who enjoys building hardware that actually works—not just designing it. Our avionics platform consists of flight computers, displays, engine monitoring systems, power electronics, networking hardware, sensor interfaces, and fly-by-wire electronics. As an Electrical Engineer, you'll own one or more of these boards throughout their lifecycle.

What they're looking for

  • Approximately 1–3 years of professional electrical engineering experience developing electronics hardware
  • Schematic capture and PCB design
  • Board bring-up and hardware debugging
  • Microcontrollers and embedded systems
  • Digital interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, or Ethernet
  • Reading datasheets and selecting components
More about this role

Most airplanes today still use avionics designed around decades-old assumptions. We think that’s one of the biggest reasons general aviation remains difficult to learn and intimidating to use.

We’re building an integrated avionics platform that makes flying dramatically simpler and safer, with the long-term goal of making personal flight accessible to far more people.

Our team includes engineers from companies like SpaceX and pilots who have spent thousands of hours flying existing systems. We’ve experienced firsthand how difficult aircraft are to build and operate, and we’re designing both the product and the company differently from the ground up.

Today we’re shipping our first generation avionics system into experimental aircraft. That means every manufacturing decision you make directly affects something that will eventually fly.
