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. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We've designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We're looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.
Overview
Joby Aviation is seeking a detail-oriented Quality Control Inspector, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), 1st Shift to perform specialized inspections across our manufacturing, assembly, and component fabrication operations. Reporting to Quality Control leadership, this role is critical to evaluating structural integrity, material soundness, and engineering conformity across composite, metallic, and additively manufactured aircraft parts.
Please note:
  • This single requisition serves as an overarching intake for NDT technical talent across four core inspection modalities: Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Computed Tomography (CT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), and Eddy Current Testing (ET).
  • Candidates do not need to hold active certifications in all four modalities to apply. Applicants will be screened by Talent Acquisition and technical leads to determine appropriate functional placement and level alignment based on certification history, classroom training hours, and hands-on experience.

Responsibilities
  • Inspection Execution: Perform non-destructive evaluations on composite structures, metallic components, additive manufactured parts, and assemblies using one or more primary modalities: Ultrasonic (UT), Computed Tomography (CT), Liquid Penetrant (PT), or Eddy Current (ET)
  • Equipment Setup & Calibration: Set up, calibrate, and standardize NDT equipment, sensors, transducers, probes, and X-ray/CT scanning systems according to written techniques and standard operating procedures
  • Data Interpretation: Analyze scanning data, A/B/C-scans, 3D CT reconstructions, signal responses, and surface indications against engineering drawings, acceptance criteria, and quality standards
  • Defect Documentation: Accurately document inspection findings, log results in MES/QMS databases, and generate nonconforming material reports (MRB tags) when discontinuities exceed allowable limits
  • Method & Technique Support: Collaborate with NDT Engineers, Quality Engineers, and shop-floor teams to assist with technique development, scan plan verification, and defect root-cause investigations
  • Quality Compliance: Maintain strict compliance with FAA requirements, internal QMS procedures, NADCAP audit guidelines, and NAS 410 written practices

Required
  • Education & Training: High School Diploma or GED
  • NDT Experience: 0-2 years practical inspection experience or formal classroom/military training equivalent to NAS 410 in at least one core modality: Ultrasonic (UT), Computed Tomography (CT), Liquid Penetrant (PT), or Eddy Current (ET)
  • Blueprint & Specs: Demonstrated ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and material specifications
  • Quality Standards: Familiarity with industry NDT qualification standards (e.g., NAS 410, ASNT, ASTM)
  • Computer Skills: Proficiency using manufacturing software (ERP/MES), specialized digital NDT analysis tools and Microsoft 365

Desired
  • Technical diploma, military NDT training program, or Associate's degree preferred
  • Active or prior NAS 410 certifications (Level I, Level II, or Level III) in UT, CT, PT, or ET
  • Experience inspecting advanced composite structures (e.g., carbon fiber laminates, honeycomb core), precision aerospace welds, or additive manufacturing components
  • Hands-on experience with Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), automated CT reconstruction software, or high-throughput penetrant lines
  • Familiarity with NADCAP audit processes and FAA Part 21/145 manufacturing environments

Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $30 - $39 per hour. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Joby also offers a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan with a company match, an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, and more.
Additional Information
Joby is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
