Joby Aviation, headquartered in California, and having an office just outside Munich, has been steadily working toward our goal of providing safe, affordable, fully electric air transportation that is 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., At Joby Germany GmbH, located in the south of Munich, we are searching for an experienced senior manufacturing engineer (m/f/d). Many interesting tasks await you around the transfer of the prototype development of additive and conventional metal machining components into series production.
