About Joby
Located in Northern California, the Joby Aviation team has been steadily working toward our goal of providing safe, affordable, fully electric air transportation that is accessible to everyone. Imagine an air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly and quickly carries you over the congestion below, giving you back that time you’d otherwise spend sitting in traffic. Technology has advanced to the point where designing and operating an all-electric aircraft is completely viable. Our team has been discreetly designing and flight testing this vehicle and is looking for talented individuals to see it through certification and high rate production.
While we are growing quickly, we are selective in whom we hire. You should be curious, driven, and devoted to your area of excellence. We live for results, employ hierarchy only to enhance efficiency, and deplore bureaucracy. If you embrace our bold vision and wish to join us in this exciting challenge, please apply using the online application form.
