About The Position

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.

We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service. We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Certification Administrative Coordinator to join our Airworthiness Team. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in supporting the Airworthiness Team and Airworthiness Engineers in ensuring the compliance aspects of the aircraft are completed, contributing to the overall airworthiness of our fleet.
