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 onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

As a Senior Product Designer on the Factory Systems team, you will play a critical role in certifying the world’s first eVTOL aircraft and launching the first Urban Air Mobility service. You’ll design the tools used daily by the people building our aircraft — making their work faster, safer, and more intuitive — while ensuring the precision and traceability required for aerospace certification.

 

Factory Systems is the technological backbone of Joby’s operations, spanning engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and operations. You’ll work closely with product managers and engineers as a thought partner, shaping strategy and delivering end-to-end design solutions that directly impact Joby’s mission.
