Hardware Engineering Design Manager

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.

With over 35 years of excellence since 1989, Avionyx is an AS9100-certified leader in providing full life-cycle avionics software and hardware engineering. We specialize in navigating the complexities of DO-178C, DO-254, and ASTM F3153-22 compliance, ensuring every project is delivered with surgical precision. Our mature, agile processes are built on 35+ years of experience, enabling us to deliver solutions that meet your needs without compromising quality.
