Located in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. 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 a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onwards toward certifying the Joby aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, scaling our manufacturing, and preparing to launch commercial service in 2025.

Are you ready to play a crucial role in shaping the future of aviation? Joby is seeking a Production Training Specialist to champion and elevate our aircraft manufacturing training programs. As a driving force behind standardizing, documenting, and supporting training activities across multiple manufacturing shops, you will be at the forefront of ensuring our teams are equipped with the skills and knowledge to build the future of air transportation.
