Data Engineer - Flight Data (contract)
pivotal· General Engineering
About this role
Pivotal is the leader in the emerging market of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. We design, develop, and manufacture light eVTOL aircraft and are renowned for the BlackFly aircraft the world's first light eVTOL to fly manned missions and enter the consumer market.
Efficient, compact, and simple, Pivotal aircraft are designed for a wide range of consumer, public service, and defense applications. Our distinctive tilt-aircraft architecture and scalable platform have been flying for over 10 years. Last year we announced our next-generation aircraft, the Helix, which is rapidly progressing toward general release and scalable production in 2026.
Mobility is one of the most highly-valued areas of modern technology investments. This is the right company, in the right space, the right strategy, at the right time. If you are ready for adventure, we invite you to join our amazing team and grow with us.
Pivotal is seeking a Data Engineer to build and operate the flight data warehouse — the system of record for telemetry off every aircraft in the fleet. Flight logs land continuously from customer and test aircraft; you will turn them into curated datasets, automated fleet health alerts, and dashboards that the firmware, GNC, battery, flight operations, and MRO teams rely on to make airworthiness and design decisions. This is a small team building production infrastructure, so you will own pipelines end to end: the data model, the services that run on it, the infrastructure as code that deploys them, and the monitoring that tells us when they break.
