Joby Aviation is seeking a passionate, driven, entrepreneurial product manager to join our team to lead programs at the intersection of autonomy, powertrain technology and next-generation aircraft systems. The role requires a leader who strives in uncertainty, can connect technical depth with product strategy, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders to bring breakthrough technologies from development to certification.

  • Drive complex autonomy and systems programs from definitions through execution, ensuring delivery of milestones that advance certification, safety and commercialization
  • Lead scope, prioritization, and decision making in ambiguous environments; clarify paths forward where there is no playbook
  • Translate between engineering, certification, operation, and business: understand autonomy, electronics hardware, avionics, flight control and certification constraints while keeping program outcomes front and center
  • Build alignment across stakeholders: engineering, flight test, certification, manufacturing, operations, executive leadership and external partners
  • Proactively identify risks and trade-offs in technology, schedule, and resources; lead structured discussions to resolve conflicts
  • Establish processes and program structures that scale while still adapting to the pace of rapid innovations
  • Champion autonomy readiness and integration into aircraft development, ensuring regulatory, operational and market needs are met
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
  • Proven program experiences in advanced technology development- ideally autonomy, robotics, aerospace, automotive or related industries
  • Strong ability to manage scope, uncertainty and complexity- with a record of delivering programs where success wasn't guaranteed
  • Solid technical literacy in one or more areas: autonomy/AI, Avionics, embedded systems, controls, powertrain, aerospace engineering, or system integration
  • Exceptional communications skills: able to engage with executive leadership as well as technical teams, or operational mechanics
  • Demonstrated ability to drive decision making across stakeholders with diverse priorities
  • Comfortable building structure out of ambiguity while keeping teams energized and mission focused
  • Masters degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
  • Experience in safety-critical or regulated environments is a strong plus
  • Experiences with vertical integration, cutting-edge technologies' introduction
  • Paid time off
  • Healthcare benefits
  • 401(k) plan with a company match
  • Employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
  • Short-term and long-term disability coverage
  • Life insurance
