Electrical Engineer, Ground Charging

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.

Joby is seeking a talented electrical engineer to join our team designing all-electric aircraft and charging systems. 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 essential. This position will be based in our San Carlos, CA location.

• Create clear and readable schematics for digital and mixed-signal printed-circuit-boards
• Component selection for maximum reliability and efficiency
• Investigate modern technologies for power and data transmission/management 
• Work with PCB designers to create reliable and low-weight layouts
• Design, debug, and commission complex systems with diverse elements, including mixed signal PCBs, sensors, motor drives, and high voltage.
• Write requirements, participate in DFMEAs + create and carry out test and validation plans

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
• 2+ years of working experience in relevant industry 
• Strong EE fundamentals, including familiarity with:
• Power conversion (linear and switching regulators)
• High-speed digital design and layout
• Signal conditioning and conversion (ADCs, filters)
• Discrete semiconductor design (FETs, BJTs, Diodes)
• Schematic capture and PCB design
• Experience with component selection
• Hands-on experience with building and debugging hardware
• Proven ability to collaborate within a multidisciplinary team spanning firmware to mechanical engineering to supply chain.
• Great communication skills

• Advanced degree in relevant discipline 
• 5+ years of working experience in relevant industry 
• Familiarity with Altium Designer
• Exposure to regulatory certification
• Design-for-reliability, including use of DFMEA and fault trees
• Designing for high EMI environments
• Expertise in high voltage DC and/or EV charging systems
• Knowledge in industry standards SAE/UL/IEEE as well as national and international electrical codes
