Full Job Description

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.

Overview

Joby Aviation is seeking a skilled Quality Engineering Technician, Dimensional to support advanced metrology and dimensional inspection operations across our manufacturing facilities. Reporting to Quality Control / Quality Engineering leadership, this role bridges hands-on shop-floor inspection with quality engineering analysis utilizing 3D measurement devices, metrology software, and precision tools to ensure complex parts, tooling, and assemblies conform to tight engineering specifications.

This role serves as a key technical resource, designing measurement programs, supporting R&D trials, executing Measurement System Analysis (MSA), and qualifying inspectors on routine measurement routines.

Responsibilities

3D Metrology Execution: Perform complex inspections of parts, tooling, and assemblies using 3D measurement devices (CMM, Laser Tracker, Romer Arm) as well as conventional hand inspection equipment (calipers, height gauges, micrometers)
Software Programming: Design, create, and maintain measurement programs utilizing PolyWorks software
Inspector Training: Train Quality Control Inspectors on routine measurement setups, program execution, and fixture alignments
Data Analysis & Reporting: Review, analyze, and communicate inspection data outputs and dimensional reports to Quality and Manufacturing Engineering teams
R&D & Engineering Support: Execute R&D-level inspections, trials, and Measurement System Analysis (MSA) in close collaboration with engineering teams
GD&T & Blueprint Review: Review mechanical engineering drawings and CAD models to provide feedback on Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for inspectability and compliance
Tooling & Process Improvement: Drive dimensional accuracy through tooling maintenance, calibration verification, continuous improvement (5S/Kaizen), and fixture optimization
First Article Inspection: Conduct and generate First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) in compliance with SAE AS9102 requirements
Nonconformance Reporting: Document, segregate, and relay nonconformance data through shop-floor Material Review Board (MRB) systems

Required

High School Diploma or GED with a minimum of 2+ years of hands-on experience in a quality or metrology role utilizing 3D measurement devices
Demonstrated experience operating precision inspection tools and gauges (surface plates, thread gauges, height gauges, micrometers, calipers, impression molds)
Fundamental understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and mechanical drawing interpretation
Strong computer proficiency and comfort adapting to modern metrology software and enterprise manufacturing databases (MES/ERP)
Clear understanding of metrology principles (accuracy vs. precision, error recognition, and calibration/product traceability)
Ability to identify inspection errors, initiate corrective actions, and document nonconformances clearly

Desired

Proficiency or expertise with PolyWorks software
Hands-on proficiency operating Laser Trackers, Romer/FARO Arms, or Bridge CMMs
Deep knowledge of complex GD&T principles per ASME Y14.5M
Experience executing SAE AS9102 First Article Inspections in an aerospace or advanced hardware environment
Familiarity with basic statistical techniques (plotting data, SPC, identifying out-of-control conditions, measurement conversions, degree/minute/second calculations)
ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) or Certified Quality Technician (CQT) designation
Prior experience in tooling setup, fixture alignment, and aerospace/FAA regulated manufacturing

Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $31-$47 per hour. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Joby also offers a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan with a company match, an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, and more.
