| Aspect | Intern Faa Pilot | Flight Instructor |
|---|---|---|
| Required Certifications | Student Pilot Certificate, FAA Medical | Commercial Pilot Certificate, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) |
| Work Environment | Flight training, supervised flying hours | Teaching students, flight training sessions |
| Industry Usage | Entry-level pilot training, preparatory role | Advanced pilot training, certification for instructing |
While both roles involve flight operations, an Intern Faa Pilot is primarily a student or trainee gaining initial flying experience under supervision, whereas a Flight Instructor is a certified pilot responsible for teaching and certifying new pilots. The Intern Faa Pilot focuses on learning, while the Flight Instructor actively trains others, often requiring additional certifications.

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.
OverviewJoby Aviation is seeking passionate and driven interns to join our flight test team. This role requires a willingness to learn and develop a range of knowledge and skills that include developing flight test plans and reports for experimental CTOL/VTOL fly-by-wire aircraft, executing testing in a ground control station environment, test data analysis, flight test simulator development, and all other tasks related to development and certification flight test activities. A can-do attitude is essential for this fast-paced environment, where every team member relies on each other to perform at their highest potential. The position is based at Joby's Marina facility.
ResponsibilitiesThe pay range for undergraduate interns, which includes freshman to senior level students, is $22-31/hr. The pay range for graduate interns with a Bachelor, Master, and/or Ph.D. degree is $5,550.00 - $7,800.00 monthly.
Relocation Assistance: This position does not offer relocation assistance. Candidates must live in the immediate area or relocate at their own expense.
