## Description

Future aircraft demand future software controls. Joby Autonomy seeks a Senior Software Engineer to develop mission-critical UI for our aircraft remote operations platform. Above and beyond conventional front-ends, our instruments give ground control operators real-time situational awareness and flight control of experimental vehicles. In this role you will design, implement, field test, safeguard and ruggedize those instruments to perform under real-world conditions.

Don''t just have a safe flight; build the front-end with us that ensures it.

Responsibilities

 * Design, build, and maintain real-time, highly performant UI instruments for monitoring and controlling experimental aircraft systems from ground control stations
 * Collaborate with flight test engineers, systems engineers, and remote operators to translate complex operational requirements into intuitive, reliable workflows
 * Establish and champion best practices in front-end architecture, state management, UI component reusability, and front-end performance across the team
 * Utilize advanced engineering workflows-including AI code assistance-while exercising thorough oversight, code review, and technical diligence to maintain high software quality
 * Partner across multidisciplinary teams to explore end-to-end system integrations, building a deep shared understanding of ground station and aircraft interactions
 * Lead technical design initiatives and contribute directly to product direction from a grounded, operator-focused perspective
