Joby Aviation is looking for a Water Jet Technician.

Located in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by their goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. 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. Since 2009, their team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. They’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. They’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join their team as they push onwards toward certifying the Joby aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, scaling their manufacturing, and preparing to launch commercial service in 2025.
