About the role

Joby Aviation designs, builds, and tests next‑gen aircraft in Concord, CA. A Senior Manufacturing Engineer will translate designs into buildable, repeatable processes for the J208 fleet, owning the assembly plan, crafting work instructions, and guiding shop floor execution to speed, quality, and consistency. The role requires hands-on aerospace manufacturing experience, GD&T per ASME Y14.5, and familiarity with AS9100/ CFR Part 21. A proactive, collaborative mindset on the floor is essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
