Company Overview

Imagine an air taxi that takes-off vertically and quietly, carries you and your fellow passengers across the city streets below, bringing you to the people and places you want to spend time with via the uncongested electric sky. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in the urban environment. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

You will help certification engineers draft and manage requirements and review test cases and procedures. You will work with the modeling team to create simulations and analysis frameworks for collecting and presenting critical design data. You will collaborate with the Aircraft, Safety, Avionics, Loads, Performance, and Rotor Dynamics teams to identify deficiencies and refine the aircraft design. You will work with test pilots to define desirable handling and flying characteristics, participate in mission planning, scenario simulations, and provide in-person support during envelope expansion flight testing. You will work with software engineers to ensure relevant tests are run and relevant artifacts are produced, stored, and linked.
