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.

The Testing Team is seeking an intern to assist in the design of test equipment used to perform structural, environmental, and functional testing of flight-critical components and systems for our eVTOL aircraft. This person will work closely with other engineers on the team to provide hands-on support with various testing projects. We expect our interns to take on a lot of ownership but will be provided the support and guidance to allow them to grow and be successful in a fast-paced, engineering-focused environment.

 

• Support design engineers in hands-on work, assembly, component ordering and BOM creation
• Design and analyze test systems and support equipment under the supervision of a team peer using CAD-based tools, electrical schematic tools, and system modeling software
• Generate engineering drawings and support test equipment fabrication
• Manage small projects from conception to completion

• Currently enrolled or recently graduated with B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, or another relevant discipline and is sophomore level or higher
