<h2>Company Overview</h2><p>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.</p><h2>Overview</h2><p>This role lives within the System Electronics Mechanical team. This team is responsible for designing the pilot inceptors, air data probe, and numerous computer assemblies across the S4, as well as mechanically designing next-generation perception suites for enabling autonomy for future aircraft. We’re seeking a passionate, hands-on, and fundamentally strong engineer to own designs across both the concept and certification phase, work cross-functionally to optimize vehicle-level solutions, and ensure the safe, lightweight, and reliable delivery of electromechanical assemblies to aircraft.</p><h2>Responsibilities</h2><ul> <li>Own designs across both the concept and certification phase, including:</li> <li>  <ul>   <li>Rapid prototyping and development testing</li>   <li>Mass optimization, stress analysis, and thermal analysis</li>   <li>Troubleshooting issues in manufacturing, testing, and in the field</li>   <li>Driving system safety, reliability, requirements, and integration considerations</li>   <li>Designing for manufacturability and cost at the component and assembly levels</li>  </ul></li> <li>Communicate design risks, complex concepts, and data clearly and honestly</li> <li>Collaborate effectively and with humility across multiple areas of expertise</li></ul><h2>Required</h2><ul> <li>Pursuing B.S./M.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent)</li> <li>Heading into junior or senior year of undergraduate degree or above at time of internship</li> <li>Available Summer 2027</li> <li>Proficiency with CAD (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks) for complex surfacing, part design, and assemblies</li> <li>Strong fundamentals in statics, dynamics, heat transfer, and materials science</li></ul><h2>Desired</h2><ul> <li>Familiarity with both low-voltage and high-voltage electromechanical designs</li> <li>Experience with finite element analysis (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys, SolidWorks)</li></ul><h2>Additional Information</h2><p><strong>Relocation Assistance:</strong> This position does not offer relocation assistance. Candidates must live in the immediate area or relocate at their own expense.</p><p> </p><p>The pay range for undergraduate interns, which includes freshman to senior level students, is $22.00 - $31.00/ hour.
