Simulation Details

Joby Aviation is at the forefront of urban air mobility, developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for quiet, zero-emission city transport. With advanced lithium-ion battery systems and a focus on minimizing noise pollution, Joby’s eVTOLs are engineered for seamless integration into urban networks. The company has achieved significant milestones, including over 1,000 successful test flights and FAA Part 135 Air Carrier Certification. Joby’s engineering teams work in a highly collaborative environment, adhering to strict safety and reliability standards such as MISRA compliance. They utilize simulation tools and unit testing to optimize performance, battery efficiency, and fault tolerance, all while solving complex challenges like charger scheduling and fleet reliability.

Step into the role of a Senior Embedded Software Engineer candidate in a realistic technical interview simulation. Your task is to transform a single C++ source file into a modular program that simulates the operational performance of a diverse eVTOL fleet, handling constraints such as limited shared chargers and varying vehicle specifications. You will make key architectural and algorithmic decisions, document your assumptions directly in the code, and ensure your solution is robust and testable. Once your coding is complete, you will engage in a one-on-one real-time chat with the Engineering Manager, presenting your design, explaining your reasoning, and responding to high-level questions about your approach.

– Edit the collaborative C++ asset to build a modular, well-documented fleet simulation that addresses all requirements.
– Clearly explain your design choices, assumptions, and testing strategies in a real-time chat with the Engineering Manager.
– Respond confidently to follow-up questions, demonstrating your technical and communication skills.
– Showcase your expertise in C++, object-oriented programming, and professional communication to complete the simulation.
