About this role

Joby Aviation is hiring a Senior Product Designer - Air Taxi, full-time, on-site in San Carlos, CA, in the eVTOL sector.

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.

In this role, you will lead the product design and development of our core operational applications— including the flight operations scheduling portal, the pilot’s Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), terminal logistics and ramp operations. Your work will be instrumental in supporting our ongoing helicopter operations in New York, launching our first commercial eVTOL operations in Dubai and scaling to future global markets.

At Joby, you won't just be designing screens; you will be paving the way in a startup-like environment within a well-funded aerospace pioneer.
