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.

Desired Some industry experience in the build-out and maintenance of labs used for Quality Assurance, Software Verification, or Test Engineering.  Aviation or regulatory environment experience is a plus. Proficiency in C/C++ and Python programming. Familiarity with project management, bug tracking, and continuous integration tools (e.g., JIRA, Jenkins, TeamCity). Proficiency in configuration management systems.  Knowledge of real-time operating systems and communication protocols for embedded systems (e.g., I2C, CAN, SPI, UART).  Experience in the development, execution, and reporting of test cases. Familiarity with Agile software development, Unit Testing, and Test-Driven Development.
