Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

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.

Leads Joby’s global talent acquisition strategy, workforce planning, recruiting operations, employer brand, and candidate experience. Advises executives on hiring and organizational scaling, builds a high-performing recruiting organization, and oversees systems, analytics, compliance, agency and university partnerships. The role drives hiring across technical, manufacturing, operational, software, and corporate functions while improving recruiting effectiveness and supporting global growth.

Lead fatigue and damage tolerance substantiation for primary aircraft structures through design, testing, analysis, and FAA certification. Perform fracture mechanics and crack-growth analyses, develop durability test programs, author certification documentation, define inspection intervals, and establish continued airworthiness requirements. The role requires deep aerospace experience with metallic and composite structures, structural fatigue, damage tolerance, and certification activities.

Conduct system safety assessments for flight-critical components, propulsion systems, and aircraft subsystems in accordance with ARP4761. Establish and manage safety requirements, collaborate with systems, software, and hardware engineering teams, participate in design reviews, identify safety issues, and maintain safety artifacts through design and configuration changes.

Develop and improve automation, build systems, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting, logging, and developer tooling. Support development teams by improving software performance and operability, establish development-process metrics, maintain critical infrastructure and services, and promote DevOps practices across the software engineering organization.

Supports the Powertrain and Electronics technical program management team on aircraft certification and development initiatives. Responsibilities include coordinating design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and testing teams; managing development hardware, inventories, dependencies, timelines, and equipment upgrades; and accelerating critical-path work. The intern will communicate program impacts, support projects from design through production, and help drive Joby’s S4 aircraft toward type certification.

Design, develop, and integrate robust, deterministic, high-fidelity flight training simulator software for electric aircraft. Responsibilities include work on instructor operating stations, after-action review systems, motion bases, sound, image generation, control loading, and external interfaces. The role requires expert C++ and multithreaded systems expertise, collaboration with engineers, data scientists, pilots, and suppliers, and participation in simulator architecture, implementation, and integration.

Leads mechanical design and integration for autonomous aircraft avionics systems, from concept through installation, validation, verification, and certification. Designs assemblies, packages custom electronics, develops drawings and work instructions, supports prototyping and production, and collaborates with systems, GNC, electrical, flight-test, and manufacturing teams. Responsibilities include metallic and composite design, thermal and reliability considerations, finite element analysis, regulatory compliance, qualification testing, and sourcing fabricated parts.

Lead supplier industrialization, component development, qualification, audits, NPI, manufacturing process development, and launch readiness for electronics and electrical commodities. Improve supplier scalability, cost, quality, delivery, and production processes; communicate technical requirements across suppliers, purchasing, quality, design, and manufacturing teams; validate corrective actions; and support material and design changes. Travel domestically and internationally up to 50% of the time.

Lead manufacturing engineering for Joby Aviation’s electric propulsion inverter, owning assembly and test production, equipment projects, process development, capacity ramp, tooling budgets, and next-generation product launches. Partner cross-functionally on DFM, quality, supply chain, throughput, and defect reduction while mentoring engineers and ensuring production readiness. The role requires deep mechanical, electrical, power electronics, and electro-mechanical assembly expertise, with hands-on shop-floor leadership in regulated manufacturing environments.
