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. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced NPI Engineering Lead to support the successful transition of composite aircraft structures from development into production. This role is responsible for leading the New Product Introduction engineering team through design release, manufacturing planning, process development, build readiness, and production stabilization. The ideal candidate has a strong background in composite manufacturing, aerospace production, cross-functional technical leadership, and hands-on problem solving. This role is critical in ensuring new designs are manufacturable, scalable, repeatable, and ready to support aircraft build schedules, certification milestones, and production ramp objectives.

Responsibilities:

Lead New Product Introduction Execution: Lead the Composites NPI Engineering team through part introduction, build readiness, process development, and production release for composite aircraft structures
Drive Manufacturing Readiness: Own readiness of parts, tools, manufacturing work instructions, ply definitions, CNC trim data, inspection requirements, and production documentation prior to release to the floor
Support Design for Manufacturing: Partner with design engineering, stress, quality, tooling, planning, and production teams to ensure new designs are manufacturable, repeatable, and aligned with production capabilities
Develop and Release Manufacturing Data Packages: Lead the creation, review, and release of manufacturing data packages including CPDs, MWIs, ply books, trim programs, inspection plans, and supporting production documentation
Resolve Technical Build Issues: Provide hands-on technical support during first article builds and early production runs. Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for manufacturing issues, NCRs, documentation gaps, and process failures
Improve Production Quality and Flow: Identify opportunities to reduce defects, improve part readiness, eliminate production blockers, and reduce rework through improved documentation, process controls, and cross-functional alignment
Coordinate Cross-Functional Execution: Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Tooling Engineering, Quality Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, Planning, and Design Engineering to ensure clear ownership, fast decision making, and successful execution
Support Certification and Production Ramp: Ensure manufacturing processes and documentation support FAA certification, traceability, conformity requirements, and scalable production needs
Develop and Mentor Engineers: Provide technical guidance, prioritization, and coaching to NPI engineers. Build team capability in composites manufacturing, documentation quality, root cause analysis, and production execution

Required:

5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, NPI engineering, composites manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, or a related technical field
Strong understanding of composite manufacturing processes such as prepreg layup, autoclave cure, bonding, trimming, drilling, inspection, and assembly
Experience supporting new product introduction, first article builds, production readiness, and manufacturing process development
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, specifications, ply schedules, CAD models, and manufacturing documentation
Experience creating or reviewing manufacturing work instructions, process documentation, production planning, and quality requirements
Strong problem-solving skills with experience in root cause analysis, corrective actions, and production issue resolution
Ability to lead cross-functional teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly align engineering, quality, production, and leadership stakeholders
Comfortable working directly on the production floor and driving hands-on execution

Desired:

Experience in aerospace, eVTOL, defense, automotive, or other highly regulated manufacturing environments
Experience with CATIA, FiberSIM, ENOVIA, MES systems, Jira, Smartsheet, Metabase, or similar engineering and production systems
Experience with FAA certification, conformity builds, AS9100, FAI, NCR, RCCA, or production quality systems
Experience leading engineers, technicians, or cross-functional technical teams
Experience with composite tooling, CNC trim programming, inspection fixtures, and production rate ramp

Additional Information:

Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $129,700 - $198,700 per year salary. 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.
