San Carlos, California, United States Joby Aviation Full time
Job Overview

Located in Northern California, Joby Aviation is a pioneering company in the development of an affordable, all-electric air transportation system.

Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries passengers over congested city streets, enabling them to spend more time with loved ones and places that matter.

Since 2009, our team has worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality, designing and testing multiple generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis.

We're seeking a highly organized and passionate individual to join our test team to aid in the development of test systems that validate flight hardware and aircraft systems.

Responsibilities
  1. Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems for software, mechanical, electrical, and energy-component testing/validation of aircraft line replaceable units (LRUs), sub-systems, and full aircraft systems.
  2. Work closely with the aircraft design team to develop test system requirements and capture the nuances of aircraft components, subsystem architectures, and operational environments.
  3. Design systems from first principles capable of testing aircraft LRUs/Systems, replicating loads/environment sustained during nominal missions and extreme limit/ultimate testing scenarios.
  4. Create and manage formal test system documentation, including design analysis, mechanical/electrical drawing packages, bill of materials (BOMs), and assembly instructions.
  5. Build and integrate the system per formal documentation, tracking all changes made throughout the system life cycle.
  6. Assist the Test Engineering team in drafting formal test procedures, instrumentation guidelines, test fixture designs, software user interfaces (UIs), and other necessary tools for representative testing of hardware.
  7. Support structural, environmental, and functional tests on specific hardware to validate LRU/System design and manufacturing against aircraft design specifications.
  8. Prepare, support, and guide the work of Test Engineers, Assembly and Test Technicians supporting development activities.
Requirements
  • B.S. or M.S. degree in a relevant field, with 4+ years of experience or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with a strong analytical background and hands-on approach.
  • Experience developing HIL test systems, data acquisition and control systems, and analytical, data analysis, and/or model-based system engineering (MBSE) design tools.
  • Proficiency in laboratory environments, common instrumentation, and mechanical design, computer-aided design (CAD) software, and manufacturing drawing creation.
  • Strong communication and social skills, with the ability to work with diverse teams and manage working relationships.
Desired Qualifications
  • M.S./Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, with 6+ years of work experience in the relevant industry.
  • Experience with electro-mechanical and/or hydro-mechanical system design and development, liquid thermal control loops, high-voltage and industrial electronics.
  • Proficiency in Dassault Systemes CAD, MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, and Python, as well as aircraft certification, regulatory requirements, compliance testing, and test verification.

Joby Aviation 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.
