Company Overview:

Jaunt Air Mobility Canada is an aerospace and air mobility pioneer dedicated to the design, certification, and high-rate manufacturing of clean-technology VTOL aviation platforms. Operating as a core pillar of the AIRO Group’s Electric Air Mobility division, Jaunt Canada leverages world-class aerospace engineering and localized supply chains to deliver industry-leading transport solutions. Our current flagship program, the Jaunt JC250, is an advanced hybrid-electric, slowed-rotor VTOL cargo platform engineered for high-endurance, high-reliability Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) logistics. Headquartered with a strong professional engineering and operational presence in Montreal and Mirabel, Quebec, Jaunt Canada is bridging the gap between abstract aerospace design and certified, real-world embedded implementation.

Position Overview:

As a Level 3 Senior Ground Control Station (GCS) Software Analyst, you are a core member of the execution tier, responsible for owning the end-to-end user experience, backend data aggregation, and structural layout of the operator's station software ecosystem. In this role, you will take the lead in evaluating systemic requirements, putting together a comprehensive execution plan, and coordinating the strategic development of the GCS software. Your focus will be on seamlessly integrating commercial third-party applications and stable open-source software libraries to assemble a highly dependable, high-availability operator workstation tailored for the autonomous JC250 aircraft fleet.

Key Responsibilities:

• Formulate detailed software roadmaps and technical implementation plans to guide the development, deployment, and expansion of the ground station operator software.
• Coordinate the integration, security Auditing, and performance tuning of third-party enterprise tools and open-source packages to establish a unified desktop user experience.
• Design and implement high-availability, multi-threaded backend data aggregation loops capable of managing simultaneous data link feeds, real-time aircraft state metrics, and video streams.
• Construct intuitive, low-latency display environments and synthetic map visualizations to maximize operator situational awareness during complex autonomous operations.
• Architect secure, role-based operator permission layers, cryptographic validation routines, and user authentication steps within the ground network structure.
• Design software-gated input configurations and human-factors interface layouts to simplify decision paths and minimize pilot cognitive workload during operational abnormalities or emergencies.
• Author verification test scripts and maintain system configuration documentation to support international type-certification goals.

Qualifications:

• Proven background in software architecture configuration and development targeting safety-critical distributed automation interfaces, robotics control panels, or aerospace dispatch centers.
• Practical experience evaluating, auditing, and securely combining open-source software frameworks and commercial third-party packages into production environments.
• Deep technical command of multi-threaded application design, asynchronous network messaging configurations, and real-time telemetry processing pipelines.
• Hands-on proficiency utilizing modern user-interface development frameworks, visualization engines, and map tile rendering components.
• Demonstrated history applying user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) human-factors design practices to manage high-density informational dashboards.
• Familiarity establishing cryptographic access layers, user authorization models, and secure data logging capabilities.

Education:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Physical and Mental Requirements:

• Standing and sitting for extended periods of time,
• Lifting up to 25 pounds in a safe and prudent manner,
• Ability to work and communicate well with other employees and management, customers, visitors, vendors.
• Ability to perform work utilizing manual dexterity of the hands,
• Ability to push, pull, bend, stoop, reach above and below shoulders, and full use of upper extremities,
• Ability to easily move through an approximately 25,000 square foot warehouse building,
• Ability to read, write, and understand French,
• Correctable vision and hearing.
