Overview

Joby Advanced Development designs, develops, and flight-tests novel aircraft using a software-first autonomy approach. We build and deploy autonomy, perception, planning, and radar systems across conventional, electric, and hydrogen-electric aircraft in both CTOL and VTOL configurations.

Responsibilities

• Own and manage engineering support workstreams for deployed J208 aircraft and Ground Control Stations, serving as the primary technical subject matter expert on-site
• Diagnose and resolve complex, multidisciplinary technical issues involving mechanical, electrical, avionics, and flight software interactions in creative and effective ways, in many instances for the first time with the product
• Brief internal and external stakeholders on complex technical systems, analytical results, and engineering judgment concerning system health and mission readiness
• Represent the J208 product and flight evaluation program to prospective and current military and civil customers during deployed field operations
• Partner closely with developmental engineering teams to capture field anomalies, software bugs, and hardware improvements, establishing systematic feedback loops for continuous product updates
• Develop procedures, operational workarounds, and technical guidelines for deployed flight test and maintenance personnel
• Frequently advise cross-functional teams on complex field maintenance matters, considering downstream implications on overall flight safety and program timelines
• Manage on-site engineering diagnostics and tooling during operational evaluations while traveling roughly 50% CONUS and OCONUS

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical discipline with 8+ years of relevant engineering experience, Master's degree with 6+ years, or equivalent practical experience
• Extensive, demonstrated experience in field service engineering, flight test support, or complex systems integration in deployed environments
• Proven capability as a super-user in troubleshooting hardware-to-software interactions, digital data buses, and electrical or avionics systems
• Active US Security Clearance, or ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance post-hire
• Willingness and ability to travel roughly 50% domestically (CONUS) and internationally (OCONUS)

Desired

• Prior experience supporting autonomous flight control systems, uncrewed ground control stations, or fly-by-wire architectures
• Demonstrated experience conducting field service engineering or flight test support specifically on US military installations
• Familiarity with telemetry analysis tools and scripting languages (e.g., Python) for flight software log diagnostics
• Strong technical communication skills with a track record of partnering with cross-functional development teams and external customer stakeholders
