    Job Description

    Pyka is looking for a Flight Operations Support Engineer to join our expanding Flight Operations team, guarantee maximum operational uptime of our fleet, and inform data-driven design decisions.

    The primary responsibilities include the diagnosis of complex hardware/software-related issues, interfacing with cross-functional engineering teams to provide required data, design additional tests and drive resolution, and generally being available to support the daily technical operations.

    This is a multidisciplinary role that interacts with many internal teams, so written and verbal communication skills are critical. Your work will be instrumental in Pyka's growth as we build the best safe product for our customers.

    Some of the way you will contribute in your first weeks include:

    • Analyze data of aircraft subsystems to support failure root cause analysis
    • Analyze bench and flight testing data to validate new design
    • Perform initial triage of software and hardware related field issues

    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.
