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. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.

Joby is seeking a hands-on technician to help develop, improve, and maintain our ground control stations, telemetry rooms, data acquisition hardware and flight test instrumentation for Joby’s eVTOL flight test aircraft fleet. You will fabricate and install hardware, configure and troubleshoot the communication and video systems that link our flight test vehicles to the ground, and keep this equipment mission-ready across multiple test sites. The equipment you maintain enables Joby to safely operate its flight test fleet and capture the data that feeds our design teams and supports certification of Joby's eVTOL aircraft. The Joby Aviation team is made up of extremely talented, hardworking, proactive, and hands-on individuals, operating in a fast-paced and rewarding environment. We are looking to expand this team with like-minded individuals looking to make a mark in the transportation industry.
