## Description

As a Senior Software Engineer on EEAT, you will contribute to Joby's mission by supporting the charging software that brings charging infrastructure from testing into commercial operations. The work will span development, testing, and validation in software-in-the-loop simulation, lab testing with hardware-in-the-loop, all the way to deployment to the field.

There are opportunities to expand your scope on the team to support near aircraft systems beyond charging, such as maintenance, contributing across the full product lifecycle., * Work on the user-facing charging software: monitor, control, and troubleshoot flows used during both charge testing and charge sessions

 * Work with flexibility and agility, adapting the software as charging equipment and firmware capabilities develop
 * Contribute to building applications that support aircraft maintenance workflows, expanding your scope across near aircraft systems
 * Work across the full stack - both backend and frontend - as the software spans equipment interfaces and user-facing tooling
 * Leverage AI as part of your own development and testing workflows to accelerate delivery
