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.

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:

- Instrumentation installation, calibration, and maintenance
Strong understanding of:

- 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
