Job description

Company Overview
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.
Overview
Joby Aviation is seeking a Composites Engineer (Methods and Allowables) to join our growing Materials and Process team. This role is a key position within the team as the company quickly moves towards FAA certification. The engineer will be expected to create validated standards and procedures for substantiation of various types of aircraft structural components. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to work across multiple engineering disciplines and play an instrumental role in creating Joby's design and analysis standards.
Responsibilities
  • Develop and validate structural analysis methods and standards
  • Create tools for efficient, accurate analysis of composite and metallic structures
  • Create and execute test plans to validate analysis tools and generate statistical design values for use in structural sizing
  • Coordinate and collaborate with other team members to ensure that assigned projects meet technical, budget, and schedule requirements
  • Communicate project plans, status, and results to internal stakeholders
  • Author white papers describing novel substantiation approaches

Required
  • B.S. in mechanical, aerospace, or structural engineering
  • 1-2 years of demonstrated working experience, including internships, co-ops, academic research, or project experience
  • Experience performing analysis (stress, stability) of composite structures for aerospace or other high-performance applications using finite element analysis and hand calculations
  • Solid understanding of composite materials characterization testing, including test matrix definition, data evaluation, and basis property calculation
  • Excellent understanding of the mechanics of composite materials (Classical Lamination Theory, elastic and strength properties, failure modes)
  • Proficiency with programming or scripting languages (C++, Python, VBA, etc.)
  • Ability to create well-written and accurate technical documents such as analysis templates, test plans, test reports, and certification documents

Desired
  • M.S. in in mechanical, aerospace, or structural engineering
  • 3+ years of experience related to in the development and certification of composite structures for small aircraft
  • In-depth knowledge of the certification process for composite aircraft structures (AC 20-107B)
  • Experience in the design and analysis of bonded and bolted joints
  • Experience performing structural testing and test-analysis correlation of composite or metallic structures
  • Working knowledge of composites design and manufacturing
