Airplanes anyone can fly. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You’ll own testing across the entire product lifecycle—from early prototypes on the bench to production hardware installed in aircraft. You’ll build the fixtures, automate tests where it makes sense, debug failures, and work directly with the engineers who designed the hardware to make the next revision better.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years building or testing complex hardware systems
- Strong hardware debugging skills
- Comfortable with oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, multimeters, and common lab equipment
- Programming experience in Python, C++, or similar
- Able to independently investigate ambiguous failures
- Enjoy working across electrical, mechanical, embedded software, and systems engineering
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.
We’re looking for someone whose favorite question is: “Why did that fail?”

This is not a role where you’ll execute someone else’s test plan.
You’ll help decide what should be tested, how it should be tested, and what we should...
