Marina, California, United States Joby Aviation Full time

Company Overview
At Joby Aviation, located in Northern California, we are committed to revolutionizing air travel with our vision of an affordable, all-electric air transportation system.

About Us
Imagine a piloted air taxi that ascends vertically and seamlessly transports you and your fellow passengers above the bustling city streets, allowing you to enjoy more time with what matters most.

Since our inception, we have diligently worked towards making this vision a reality, designing and testing multiple generations of prototype aircraft to serve as part of a network of electric air taxis.

Position Overview
The Aircraft Assembly Manager will serve as the primary liaison for all Joby Manufacturing and product teams, overseeing the intricate details related to the assembly and finalization of a specific tail serial number of a Joby aircraft.

This role is essential in ensuring that aircraft completion occurs in a structured, regularly updated, and well-planned manner.

Collaboration with program managers and departmental leaders across the organization is crucial to assess timelines and develop recovery strategies when delays in sub-assembly and parts deliveries threaten the aircraft assembly schedule.

As production scales, multiple aircraft will be concurrently in progress, leading to overlapping vehicle assembly tasks.

It is anticipated that each subsequent serial number will have its own dedicated assembly manager. As the team of Aircraft Assembly Managers expands, the most effective member will be promoted to the Senior Assembly Manager role, responsible not only for supervising an aircraft assembly but also for mentoring, training, and leading other assembly managers.

Key Responsibilities
Applicants for this position should possess strong technical expertise in aircraft systems and assembly processes, coupled with an engaging and approachable demeanor.

  • Composites Manufacturing
  • Airframe Assembly
  • Subtractive Metallics Team
  • Additive Team
  • Small Electronics Team
  • Actuators Team
  • EPU Team

  • ESI Team
  • Production Planning Team
  • Inventory Team
  • Quality Team
  • Executive Team
  • Integration Team
  • Aircraft Maintenance Team
  • Design Engineering/Systems Engineering
  • IPT Project Managers

Qualifications
This position requires a management approach focused on enhancing productivity while maintaining the flexibility and adaptability necessary to meet business objectives in a highly dynamic environment.

Successful candidates will be familiar with the following processes and tasks:

  • Composites Part Fabrication
  • Bonded Composite Assembly
  • Aerospace Engineering Design and Development Processes
  • Metallic Machining and Printing Processes
  • Paint and Finishing Processes
  • Aerospace Parts and Systems Acceptance Testing
  • Aircraft Mechanical Systems
  • Aircraft Airworthiness Inspections and Best Practices
  • Electrical Systems and Harness Fabrication
  • Production Aircraft Quality Management Systems
  • Aerospace Prototype and Research and Development Processes
  • Aircraft Systems and Systems Engineering

Experience

Compensation
At Joby, compensation includes a combination of base salary and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The compensation package will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

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