About this role

Detect And Avoid Lead Concord, CA, US; Santa Cruz, CA, US Company Overview Joby Flight Research designs, develops, and flight-tests novel aircraft using a software-first autonomy approach. We build and deploy autonomy, perception, planning, and radar systems across conventional, electric, and hydrogen-electric aircraft in both CTOL and VTOL configurations. Overview We're building autonomous aircraft, and safely sharing the airspace is non-negotiable. Detect and Avoid (DAA) is how our aircraft sense other traffic - cooperative and non-cooperative - and maneuver to stay well clear and avoid collisions without a pilot in the loop.This is not a single solution for a single aircraft. We operate multiple aircraft types with different missions and performance envelopes, and they won't all solve DAA the same way: some will carry DAA onboard, some will rely on ground-based DAA, and some will use a mix of both. A core enabler across the portfolio is a radar we are designing and building in-house, developed by our dedicated radar team.As the DAA Lead, you own the DAA capability across that portfolio - from architecture and sensor strategy, through requirements and certification basis, to the roadmap that gets it flying. You are also the product voice into the radar program, defining what the radar must detect, at what performance, and how we'll prove it. You sit at the intersection of the radar team, autonomy/GNC, systems engineering, safety, flight test, and regulators, and you're accountable for turning a hard technical and regulatory proble
