About this role
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.
Job Overview
This is your chance to help shape the future of flight.

Working hand-in-hand with our flight control, battery control, motor control, certification, flight test, and software verification teams, you will help engineer the safety-critical airborne software powering a new generation of electric aircraft. We're looking for someone fluent in model-based development tools like MATLAB/Simulink, skilled at optimizing tests to run fast and in parallel, and confident turning large volumes of test data into clear, defensible conclusions that move the program forward.
