Job Description

At Elroy Air, we build autonomous vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) cargo aircraft systems to change the way the world moves goods. Transporting cargo by air is faster and more efficient than by land or sea, but before recent technological and regulatory developments, it was prohibitively expensive. Today, we’re able to expand middle-mile logistics possibilities across multiple sectors. The commercial express shipping industry spends $140B annually on the middle-mile and needs faster, better solutions - while the armed forces are increasingly prioritizing unmanned aerial cargo delivery systems.


These partners and customers are already responding enthusiastically to the technologies we are pioneering. As we develop and deploy these systems, we are looking for people like you: motivated collaborators, excited by our mission and by the rare opportunity to improve how logistics works around the world. You will play an important role in establishing Elroy Air as the industry standard in this massive market.


Diverse perspectives at all levels are critical to innovation and employee development. We encourage our team to bring their whole selves to Elroy. This includes but is not limited to gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression, religion, age, ability, parenthood status, veteran status, educational background, citizenship status, or any combination of these characteristics.


As a Senior Systems Test Engineer you will perform functional, environmental, and integrated system tests of flight critical components and subsystems for our hybrid eVTOL aircraft. You will have ownership of our testing projects and hardware, and be the go to person for our systems test activities for the entire engineering organization. We are a small team that values collaboration, and we envision this role working closely with engineering colleagues to create test plans, conduct testing, analyze data, and distribute actionable results. You will develop tools to improve the automation of our test hardware, proactively scaling the effectiveness of Systems Test within Elroy Air.


This is an onsite, full-time, salaried, exempt role based in South San Francisco with travel as needed to our flight test facility in Byron, CA.
