About The Position

At Wisk, we're transforming the future of urban mobility through safe, all-electric, autonomous flight. We are a passionate team working together toward a sustainable future, solving high-impact problems that have never been solved before. By delivering everyday flight for everyone, we're making it possible to spend less time getting there and more time being there. If you want to be part of shaping the future of mobility, then read on! We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our R&D team. The R&D team is responsible for rapid evaluation of autonomy systems in a flight environment, and the development of future technologies that enable autonomous eVTOL operations. The goal of this position is to facilitate the development of autonomous systems through the use of surrogate platforms like helicopters, and simulation. This position will facilitate the integration of new software modules in our helicopter platform & bench setups, develop software architectures that enable rapid test and evaluation, automate software deployment, and automate data extraction and validation. Due to the nature of the work required for this position, this is an onsite opportunity. You will be required to work from our Hollister location.
