Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Designs, integrates, and deploys electromechanical battery test equipment connected to high-voltage batteries and data acquisition hardware. Develops battery safety lab expansion plans, executes cell and battery testing, builds data pipelines and dashboards, and maintains equipment documentation and compliance for certification. Requires hands-on mechanical and electrical engineering, battery safety, sensing, data processing, CAD, and test equipment experience.

Develop and commission custom electromechanical manufacturing equipment for aircraft assembly and testing. Design scalable PLC software in Structured Text, build HMIs, create electrical schematics and panel layouts, select controls components and sensors, and support wiring, validation, and production deployment. Collaborate with manufacturing and test engineers to deliver reliable automation systems.

Owns manufacturing and assembly processes for autonomous aircraft installations, including build planning, work instructions, tooling, fixtures, technician support, design for manufacturability, nonconformance resolution, supplier qualification, and quality improvements. The role requires hands-on experience with aerospace structures, metallic and composite fabrication, GD&T, CAD-based tooling design, FAA requirements, and transitioning prototype builds to rate production.

Design, develop, test, certify, and support propeller blades, rotor hubs, and related mechanical components for advanced aircraft. Collaborate with analysis, testing, manufacturing, and certification teams throughout the product lifecycle. Create certification and test documentation, ensure structural integrity and manufacturability, and provide technical guidance on FAA regulatory compliance. The role requires onsite work in Santa Cruz, California.

Supports Joby Aviation’s federal government affairs strategy by engaging Congress, federal agencies, DoD personnel, trade associations, and advocacy coalitions. Researches legislation, regulations, appropriations, and agency activity; drafts policy materials; prepares government meetings and hearings; supports lobbying compliance, budget tracking, and policy reporting. The role translates aerospace and emerging technology information into policy narratives and requires strong knowledge of federal processes, excellent communication skills, U.S. citizenship, and up to 30% travel.

Conducts experimental flight testing for advanced conventional, electric, and hydrogen-electric aircraft, with emphasis on autonomy systems. Responsibilities include test planning, flight readiness reviews, crew participation, real-time data monitoring, post-flight analysis, reporting, configuration management, troubleshooting, root-cause investigation, and flight manual development. The role requires collaboration with engineers, pilots, maintenance, and leadership, plus at least 10% travel for military exercises or remote test campaigns.

Develop aerodynamic, propulsion, flight dynamics, performance, and aeroelastic models for novel aircraft and autonomy systems. Lead flight-physics trade studies, design aerodynamic and propulsor elements, evaluate trajectories, support real-time simulation, specify ground and flight tests, and validate models through flight-test data and system identification. Collaborate with aircraft design, GNC, simulation, and flight software teams.

Analyze supplier, procurement, inventory, demand planning, and capacity data to identify efficiency opportunities and support supply chain decisions. Build KPI dashboards and reports using Excel, Power BI, or similar tools. Lead cross-functional initiatives including supplier transitions, cost reduction programs, and system implementations. Manage timelines, milestones, risks, and deliverables while coordinating with procurement, planning, logistics, engineering, operations, and finance teams.

Performs aircraft and systems loads analysis across the operational envelope, supports flight and ground testing, analyzes test data, and develops aeroelastic and aerodynamic models. The role improves simulation tools, validates analytical models, builds loads databases, and supports FAA certification documentation. Collaboration spans flight physics, airframe, systems, testing, and certification teams. The position requires on-site work in Santa Cruz or Marina, California, particularly during active flight-test periods.

Develops and improves aircraft flight-control algorithms, simulations, and analysis. Authors requirements, test cases, and compliance artifacts; reviews flight-test data; supports system debugging, verification, certification, and envelope-expansion testing. Collaborates with aircraft, avionics, safety, performance, software, modeling, and test teams to validate flight-control behavior and refine aircraft design.
