We are harnessing automation and electrification to make aviation safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective than ever before. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Pyka is looking for a software engineer to own the path our software takes from the development branch to the fleet. Issues from the field arrive without regard to subsystem boundaries, so you will work across the full aircraft software stack: autonomy, controls, avionics interfaces, and ground systems. You will decide what ships to the fleet and when, own several aircraft software systems directly, and build the testing and release infrastructure the engineering team relies on.
What they're looking for
- Professional experience with C++ (ideally C++11 or newer): 2+ years for Engineer II, 5+ years for Senior
- Professional experience with Python
- A track record of debugging difficult problems in systems you did not write, often with incomplete data
- Experience with testing infrastructure, CI/CD, release engineering, or build and distribution systems for software that ships to physical devices
- Interest in or experience with real-world robotic systems, especially where software interacts with hardware
- Comfort working across the stack from low-level systems to user-facing tools
More about this role
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...
