Located in Northern California, the Joby Aviation team is steadily working toward our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. Imagine an air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly and quickly carries you over the traffic congestion below, giving you back the time that otherwise would have spent sitting in traffic. Since 2009, our team has been making this dream a reality, designing and flight testing a prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. Were looking for talented individuals to join our team as we push onwards toward certifying the aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration and preparing for commercialization with a launch targeted in select markets for 2024.
The Materials and Process Team seeks an intern to support characterizing structural materials for our eVTOL aircraft. This person will work closely with other engineers on the team to provide hands-on support with various R&D projects. We expect the intern to take some level of ownership but will provide support and guidance to allow them to grow and be successful in a fast-paced, engineering- focused environment.
