  3. Collaborate with SW and system engineers to debug and improve radio system performance.
  4. Utilize advanced data analysis tools such as Grafana, Databricks, and Unfolded to process flight test data.
  5. Resolve impairments and anomalies that occur during integration, bench test, and flight test.
  6. Includes hands-on, in-person involvement in a remotely located test site, approximately one week per month.
  7. Requires operational understanding of VHF com radios, Global Navigation Satellite Systems, VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR), ILS (LOC + GS), Radar Altimeter.
  8. Perform computer-aided antenna engineering and system design using Ansys HFSS (or equivalent).
  9. Predict antenna radiation patterns and antenna-to-antenna coupling.
  10. Design, develop, certify, and integrate next-generation conformal antennas to replace blade antennas.
  11. Specify and implement test equipment to be used in the production environment as part of the manufacturing process of radio systems, including Joby-manufactured radios based on 400 MHz COTS radio modules.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of experience developing and/or deploying RF and radio systems.
  • Understanding of communications systems, associated SW algorithms, and their design, including C2 source selection, signal modulation/demodulation, and error correction.
