Head of Software Engineering - Oakland, United States - Pyka
Description
We are looking for a software leader who is motivated by making a meaningful, positive impact on society through the technology they create.
The Head of Software Engineering will take the reins on the software stack behind the world's most rapidly scaling fleet of autonomous electric aircraft and transform an early stage product into a massively scalable platform.
This role is an opportunity to lead a high performing team with a proven track record and see your mission, and Pyka's, through to exceptional growth and positive impact.
If this is what you're craving — read onFirst a note from Kyle:
Hello My name is Kyle Moore.
I am one of the four co-founders of Pyka and have led the software team over the past seven years from early styrofoam prototype aircraft to two certified products deployed in four countries.
In that time we've gone from a Python script that did basic PID control on a remote control plane, to a full custom flight controller running bare metal on an ARM-FPGA SoC capable of flying a 1,400 lb plane on some of the most complex commercial aviation missions.
Leading the software team at Pyka has been by far the most interesting, rewarding, and challenging undertaking of my career.
Working on a product like this with a company that has as strong and as positive of a culture as Pyka's is a once-in-a-career opportunity.
I'm at the point in my career where I'd like to hand over the reins on leading the software team to an exceptional leader and engineer who is ready to guide the team through our next phase of growth.
I'll continue to be deeply involved with the team, but will focus primarily on technical work (low level systems work in particular) as well as technical mentorship.
I'm looking forward to meeting youWhat You'll Do
In this role, you will lead Pyka's Software Engineering team to develop the custom software running on our autonomous flight controller, ground control station, and embedded systems.
You will report directly to the company's CEO.Some examples of projects the software team is currently working on:
Integrating an LTE/SATCOM-based command and control link for beyond line of sight aircraft operations.
Real-time sense and avoid of other aircraft based on fusing (e.g.,) ADS-B and sensor readings.
Life-long mapping of operation areas using LIDAR (e.g., detecting out-of-date maps, partial re-mapping, etc.)
High-power custom BLDC motor controller firmware.
End-to-end automated testing/simulation (including hardware-in-the-loop) of our full flight controller.
Optimizing path planning for minimum energy consumption and flight time in complex environments.
About Pyka
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 providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments.
Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries.What you work on at Pyka makes people's lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.
ResponsibilitiesManage a team of Software Engineers (currently 7 people), including their career growth and professional development.
Manage the day-to-day priorities of software team members.
Develop and implement processes to ensure the overall quality and safety of our software (especially safety-critical software) remains exceptionally high.
Work closely with the flight testing team to identify, prioritize, and solve problems from the field.
Work closely with other teams to ensure the software team goals are properly aligned with the rest of the company.
Proactively identify roadblocks for the software team and work to remove them.
Preferred Qualifications
5+ years of experience managing a software team
Experience writing software for physical or robotic systems, especially safety critical software
Experience managing complex projects with competing priorities
Strong technical and problem solving skills and the ability to mentor junior engineers
Strong working knowledge of modern C++
