How does swipeandhired work?

You set your target roles, salary floor and locations once. swipeandhired scores matching postings against your profile, drafts tailored application materials with AI, and either lets you swipe to apply, one tap at a time, or runs fully on autopilot. Every application is tracked in your dashboard.

Which ATS platforms does swipeandhired support?

All of them. swipeandhired applies on every applicant tracking system (ATS) employers use, including Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Ashby, Taleo, SuccessFactors, Oracle Cloud and Jobvite, and on a company's own careers page when it uses none of them. You can also bring any posting yourself by link or pasted text.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, in one click from the billing portal in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.

Is my data used for training AI models?

Our platform AI provider may use the content we send it, your profile and the job posting, to improve its models. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

Company Overview

Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.

Overview

Joby's Advanced Development group is looking for an engineer to own and grow our hardware-in-the-loop and test-automation capability for novel aircraft and flight automation systems.
This role is responsible for the fidelity, coverage, and reliability of the pipeline that allows us to test all new changes to our redundant compute system ahead of deployment.
You will work closely with the core software team, flight controls, avionics, and flight test engineers who depend on this infrastructure.
We're looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes full ownership of infrastructure the whole flight software org relies on, and consistently delivers high-impact results.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain the test infrastructure, fault injection frameworks and annunciation mechanisms required for in-the-loop testing
Develop software in the loop, hardware in the loop and aircraft in the loop simulation infrastructure: in-the-loop scenario runner, simulated peripherals, and per mode configuration
Bring up, debug, and maintain the physical HITL rigs, and keep rig hardware and configuration matched to the real aircraft they stand in for
Build and extend hardware-CI pipelines that deploy flight software to rig hardware and run pass/fail, timing, and platform-log checks automatically, with results stored for trend tracking
Write and maintain Bazel-based C++ and Python scenario and unit tests, including property-based tests, that exercise the flight software against realistic sensor, actuator, timing, and network-transport conditions
Integrate new sensors and actuators into both the simulated and hardware-in-the-loop environments over their native buses (CAN, UART/RS-485, I2C, SPI, ARINC 429, Ethernet)
Triage rig and CI failures: separate simulation-fidelity gaps from rig hardware faults from real flight-software bugs, and drive each to the right owner with a reproducible case
Work with flight test and controls engineers to convert observed flight behavior into repeatable in-the-loop scenarios, closing the loop between flight data and pre-flight validation

Required

University degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a similar field; or a strong portfolio of embedded / test-automation software and 5+ years relevant industry experience

Strong C++ and Python, and fluency with Git

Experience building or maintaining hardware in the loop or comparable automated test infrastructure that runs real embedded hardware in CI

Working knowledge of embedded communication buses (CAN, UART/RS-485, I2C, SPI, or similar) at the level needed to debug them with a scope or logic analyzer

Understanding of real-time and safety-critical software concepts: deterministic fixed-rate execution, timing budgets, redundancy, and what makes a test of such a system trustworthy

Experience with a hermetic build system (Bazel or equivalent) and a CI system (Buildkite, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent)

Experience with Linux, including remote deployment and debugging on embedded Linux targets

A passion for clean, long-lived, and readable object-oriented software architecture. Not just working code, but code built to survive years of extension by other engineers

This position must meet US export control compliance requirements, therefore a candidate must qualify as a “US Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15. “US Person” includes US Citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, or asylees.

Desired

Property-based testing experience
Experience with pub/sub or message-bus middleware for distributed embedded software (DDS, ROS 2, or a custom transport)
Hands-on experience with servos, motor controllers, or other actuators on serial or CAN buses
Experience designing or reviewing simple electrical hardware (PCBs, harnesses, breakout boards) to support test rigs
Experience analyzing flight or test log data at scale (SQL, Databricks, or similar) to find regressions or derive new test cases
Rust experience
Aerospace, automotive, or robotics safety-critical industry experience

Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $136,100 - $202,600/yr. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Joby also offers a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan with a company match, an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, and more.
