Job Description Pyka is seeking a highly skilled Senior Electromechanical Engineer to join our team developing cutting-edge electric aircraft. This role involves the design and development of electromechanical systems including enclosures for electrical systems, electrical harnesses for data and power distribution, and interfaces for electric motors and batteries. You will play a critical role in both the design and prototyping stages, collaborating closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers. 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.
