Joby Aviation jobs

Flight Research Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Joby Aviation in Santa Cruz, CA. Focuses on building perception and reasoning algorithms for the Superpilot autonomy stack, including training models, architecting training infrastructure, and evaluating performance within the Operational Design Domain. Requires strong ML engineering background with expertise in deep learning, computer vision, multi-sensor data processing, and model deployment. This is a specialized ML/AI role for autonomous aviation systems, not general software engineering.

Flight Research Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Joby Aviation in Santa Cruz/Concord, CA. Focuses on development of safety-critical embedded systems for flight automation, including triplex compute platforms, HIL/SIL simulation, and real-time Linux systems integration. Requires 8+ years (Bachelor's), 6+ years (Master's), or 3+ years (PhD) with fluency in C/C++, Python, and demonstrated experience with safety-critical embedded systems, real-time Linux, and communication protocols. Compensation: $153k–$245k. This is an embedded systems/aerospace-focused role, not web or backend application engineering.

Flight Research Navigation Software Engineer at Joby Aviation in Santa Cruz, CA. Focuses on state estimation, multi-sensor fusion, and navigation software development in C++ for experimental VTOL and CTOL aircraft. Requires expert knowledge of Kalman filtering, real-time safety-critical C++ flight software, and multi-sensor fusion systems. While technically aligned with embedded systems work, the core responsibilities are aerospace/embedded systems engineering rather than full-stack or web-based backend engineering.

Flight Research Embedded Systems Lead at Joby Aviation in Santa Cruz, CA. Combines technical leadership and some management responsibilities for a small team developing embedded flight software and avionics for aircraft. Requires 8+ years experience (Bachelor's) or 6+ years (Master's) with expertise in real-time, safety-critical embedded software, hardened/real-time Linux, and C++/Python. This is a technical lead/manager role with both people management and hands-on contributions, not a pure engineering role.

Staff Project Manager role at Joby Aviation leading complex capital facilities projects ($1M–$50M) from concept through commissioning across manufacturing, R&D, and office facilities. Requires expertise in building systems, budgeting, cost control, and cross-functional coordination with architects, engineers, and contractors. Based in San Carlos, CA; target salary $148,400–$192,100/yr plus RSUs.

Embedded Software Engineer, Motor Inverter at Joby Aviation in Santa Cruz, CA. Focuses on architecture and implementation of embedded software for motor control systems in aircraft, including work with state machines, FPGA integration, and high-power electronics. Requires Bachelor's in EE/CS with 3+ years relevant industry experience, demonstrable knowledge of object-oriented C++ and communication protocols (I2C, CAN, SPI, UART). This is a specialized embedded systems role focused on motor control and power electronics, not full-stack or general backend engineering.
