Role summary

Joby is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design all-electric aircraft systems. This hands-on role involves ownership of electrical subsystems and PCBs from design through prototyping and production. Responsibilities include creating schematics, selecting components for reliability and low mass, designing layouts, writing requirements, and performing hardware debugging. The ideal candidate will have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering with 2+ years of relevant experience, strong fundamentals in power conversion, digital design, signal conditioning, semiconductor design, schematic capture, PCB design, component selection, and hardware debugging. Experience with Altium Designer, high voltage DC systems, and design-for-reliability is desired.

Company Overview

Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.

Overview

Joby is seeking a talented electrical engineer to join our team designing all-electric aircraft. This engineer will work closely with mechanical, software, and other cross-functional teams. You'll be taking ownership of key electrical subsystems and printed-circuit-boards from design through prototyping and to product. This is a hands-on position. Optimizing designs for reliability, weight, and efficiency will be a focus.

Responsibilities

Create clear and readable schematics for digital and mixed-signal printed-circuit-boards
Component selection for minimum mass and maximum reliability
Investigate modern technologies for power and data transmission/management
Work with PCB designers to create reliable and low-weight layouts
Write and validate requirements
Work with system safety team to drive DFMEAs
Author verification test cases and execute the test cases
Assist with the creation, bring-up, and support of tools to support design
Drive continual process improvements, maturing existing designs, and incorporating feedback from field use cases

Required

B.S. in Electrical Engineering (or a related discipline) with 2+ years of relevant industry working experience, or equivalent work experience
Strong electrical engineering fundamentals, including:
- Power conversion (linear and switching regulators)
- Digital design and layout

- Discrete semiconductor design (FETs, BJTs, Diodes)
- Schematic capture and PCB design
Experience with component selection
Hands-on experience with building and debugging hardware
Great communication skills

Desired

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
Experience with electric transportation
Experience with high voltage DC electrical systems
Familiarity with Altium Designer
Exposure to regulatory certification
Design-for-reliability experience, including the use of DFMEA and fault trees
