Joby Overview

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.

You'll be taking ownership of key electrical subsystems and printed-circuit-boards from design through prototyping and to product. This is a hands-on position. Optimizing designs for reliability, weight, and efficiency will be essential. This position may be based in our San Carlos, CA or Santa Cruz, CA locations!

Responsibilities

  • Create clear and readable schematics for digital and mixed-signal printed-circuit-boards
  • Component selection for minimum mass and maximum reliability
  • Investigate modern technologies for power and data transmission/management

    • Signal conditioning and conversion (ADCs, filters)
    • Discrete semiconductor design (FETs, BJTs, Diodes)
  • Schematic capture and PCB design
  • Experience with component selection
  • Hands-on experience with building and debugging hardware
  • Great communication skills

Desired

  • Advanced degree in relevant discipline
  • 3+ years of working experience in relevant industry
