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 launching our initial commercial service.

We are looking for a motivated intern to join one of our software development teams to help us build a revolutionary, cost effective, and clean global transportation system to fulfill our mission of saving a billion people an hour a day.

It will be an in-person internship based in Santa Cruz, San Carlos, or Marina CA. Relocation assistance and housing will not be provided.
