Aircraft Integration Assembly Technician

Company Overview

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.

Overview

Joby Aviation is looking for talented mechanics, technicians, and fabricators to join our Final Integration and Assembly team. In this role, you will be trained to assemble all the parts, components, harnesses, avionics, interiors, landing gear and systems into the final aircraft needed to prepare it for flight. If you are hardworking and excited about participating in the development of next–generation, innovative aircraft, and if you take pride in doing high-quality work, then we want to talk to you. On our team, you will contribute to the manufacture and assembly of an innovative aircraft that will change the future of flying.

At Joby we have been hard at work creating groundbreaking developments towards our goal of providing safe, affordable, fully electric air transportation that is accessible to everyone. We are not shy about our goal to change the world. Our battery-powered aircraft takes off vertically like a helicopter then transitions to the efficient configuration of wing-borne flight as an airplane and it operates significantly quieter than any aircraft before it. It will transport passengers quickly and efficiently over the congestion below, landing on a vertiport close to your destination while giving you back the time you would otherwise have wasted in traffic. We are a tight-knit team that likes to work hard, and we enjoy what we do. We have multiple openings for several roles at unique various experience levels. Let us know how your passion and experience can help us build the future of air transportation!
