    Senior/Staff Manufacturing Engineer - Oakland, United States - Pyka

    Pyka
    Default job background
    Description

    Manufacturing Engineers are critical to the successful launch of new products and on-going design changes at Pyka In this role, you'll work on a blend of earlier stage prototypes as well as later-stage production parts and assemblies. You will help with the design, fabrication, and improvement of tools, jigs, and fixtures for both in-house and outsourced production. For outsourced composite assemblies, you will liaise between Pyka and the contract manufacturer to ensure all design changes and fixture updates are communicated clearly and implemented to our quality standards. You will also have the opportunity to help us define assembly cells and build out the airframe area of our new shop.

    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.
