    Job Description

    Pyka is looking for a Hardware Test Engineer to support the development of its autonomous electric aircraft. You will design and execute test campaigns at the system and part level. Your testing will discover issues that you will also root cause. Your work will be essential for improving the reliability and performance of our system. You will design and build test rigs, as well as outsource testing. You will provide clear reports and recommendations to improve our product.

    In addition, you will work closely with engineers from each primary discipline to develop robust acceptance testing that ensure that each Pyka aircraft leaves the factory in an airworthy condition ready for customers.

    In this role you will have significant autonomy and the opportunity to contribute to many of Pyka's most innovative and complex technologies. Your work will be prioritized and budgeted for. This will be a technically demanding position with enormous opportunity for ownership.

    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 CO2 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.
