Located in Northern California, Joby Aviation has been steadily working toward our goal of providing safe, affordable, fully electric air transportation accessible to everyone. Imagine an air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly and quickly carries you over the congestion below, giving you back that time you’d otherwise spend sitting in traffic. Technology has advanced to the point where designing and operating an all-electric aircraft is completely viable. Our team has been discreetly designing and flight testing this vehicle and is looking for talented individuals to see it through certification and high rate production.

About the Job
Joby Aviation is seeking a passionate individual to join our Additive Manufacturing team. This individual would be responsible for designing and modifying hardware used to print flight critical components and mechanisms. This role will often involve design work starting at the conceptual level, mature into full 3D modeling, check with FEA analysis and hand calculations, and continue into manufacturing. Hands-on experience and a “get it done" attitude are very important for this position. This position is rewarding, as the engineer will promptly see their ideas grow from concept to creation due to the fast pace of Joby Aviation.

Responsibilities:
Design of complicated mechanisms, linkages, actuators, etc.
Detailed design and fabrication instruction writing
Fabrication using various methods (sheet metal forming, subtracting machining, additive, etc)
Direct communication with vendors and technicians in manufacturing

Required:
B.S. in mechanical engineering or another relevant discipline (or progress towards)
Excellent problem solving and communication skills
Strong analytical background
Experience with hands-on design and testing
Proficiency in mechanical design, materials selection, kinematics, troubleshooting, and analysis
Strong volumetric awareness
Proficiency with CAD
Ability to stand, walk, climb stairs, crouch around machines, and lift up to 50 lbs regularly

Desired:
M.S./Ph.D. in relevant discipline
2+ years of working experience in relevant industry
Experience with Dassault Systemes CAD, specifically using Generative Shape Design, Part Design, and Assembly Design
Experience with finite element tools (Abaqus)
Aircraft homebuilding is a plus
Experience with microstructure observation and metallurgical analysis
Experience working in an AS9100/ISO9000 environment

This internship would be between six and twelve months and located in Marina, CA and Santa Cruz, CA
