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 highly motivated Flight Test Instrumentation Systems Lead to lead our Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) & Ground Control Station teams. This role combines technical leadership and people management in a fast-paced flight test environment supporting both developmental and certification programs.

You will lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for the design, integration, operation, and maintenance of instrumentation, telemetry, and ground control stations across the flight test fleet. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring strong cross-functional collaboration, technical depth, and the ability to execute and lead in rapidly evolving test environments.

Responsibilities:

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers and technicians responsible for FTI, telemetry, and Ground Control Stations
Establish team priorities, workflows, and staffing plans aligned with flight test program needs
Foster a culture of safety, accountability, and technical excellence

Own the architecture, design, integration, and maintenance of all flight test instrumentation systems
Oversee data acquisition systems, sensors, signal conditioning, telemetry, and onboard recording systems
Ensure instrumentation readiness, calibration, and reliability for all flight test operations

Plan and manage FTI schedules, budgets, and resource allocation across multiple test campaigns
Drive coordination across flight test engineering, aircraft integration, maintenance, systems engineering and the program office

Develop and maintain processes for design, installation, configuration control, calibration, and maintenance of FTI systems
Ensure traceability and compliance with internal standards and regulatory requirements (FAA/EASA)

Guide the design of development of hardware and software solutions supporting flight test instrumentation and telemetry
Evaluate and integrate new technologies and tools to improve data quality, efficiency, and scalability
Provide technical oversight for troubleshooting, anomaly resolution, and root cause investigations

Required:

Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
10+ years of experience in flight test instrumentation, data acquisition, or related domains
Proven experience leading and developing technical teams in a flight test environment
Deep expertise in one or more of the following:
- Flight Test Instrumentation systems design and integration
- Data acquisition hardware, telemetry systems, and sensor integration
- Instrumentation installation, calibration, and maintenance
Strong understanding of:
- Flight test processes and aircraft integration
- Configuration management and documentation practices
- Data quality, validation, and traceability in test environments
Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, rapidly changing flight test environment

Desired:

Experience with LabVIEW or similar DAQ/software tools
Experience supporting FAA Part 23/25/27/29 or EASA certification programs
Knowledge of air data systems and calibration methods
Familiarity with aircraft wiring, avionics integration, and structural instrumentation (strain, pressure, vibration)
Experience with Ground Control Stations and telemetry infrastructure
Demonstrated success scaling teams and processes during rapid program growth

Additional Information:

Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $171,200 - $234,300/yr. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
