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.\nOverview\nWorking as a Composite M&P Engineering Technician at our Dayton, Ohio facility (JMO), you will support propeller blade process development activities leading to the certification and production of eVTOL aircraft. The role requires hands-on composite fabrication experience and a strong desire to work directly on the shop floor. The ideal candidate is a highly skilled engineering technician who thrives at the intersection of fabrication and process development, bridging the gap between engineering and manufacturing, and possesses the ability to work with minimal supervision within a small, focused team.\nResponsibilities\nDevelop and optimize composite manufacturing processes for propeller blade fabrication, including dry fiber layup, resin transfer molding (RTM), vacuum bagging, curing, demolding, and post-cure operations\nSupport RTM process development using injection equipment, including resin system evaluation, injection parameter development, and mold fill studies\nPerform hands-on composite fabrication in the blade development cell, working alongside production technicians\nExecute laser-projected layup operations using lamination tables and blade truss structures\nFabricate batch acceptance test panels in support of material qualification and process validation activities\nDevelop and maintain SOPs, Manufacturing Work Instructions (MWIs), and process specifications for blade manufacturing operations\nInterpret and work with engineering drawings, work instructions, and process specifications for composite laminate and bonded structures\nRecord and analyze process data; document and communicate non-conformances and support root cause and corrective action (RCCA) activities\nPrepare and maintain molds, tooling, and fixtures associated with blade fabrication and development operations\nMaintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace, following all Joby safety procedures and OSHA regulations\nRequired\nMinimum 6+ years of relevant hands-on industry experience\nDemonstrated hands-on composite fabrication experience \nFamiliarity with composite manufacturing processes such as dry fiber layup, prepreg layup, vacuum bagging, resin infusion, or RTM\nAbility to read and work from engineering drawings, work instructions, and process specifications\nStrong attention to detail and critical thinking skills with a commitment to workmanship quality\nProblem-solving mindset with a willingness to work on the shop floor and collaborate effectively with technicians and engineers\nProficiency in MS Office Suite and general computer skills\nDesired\nB.S. in Aerospace, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related engineering discipline\nExperience with RTM or liquid composite molding processes, specifically injection-based systems\nExperience with laser projection systems for composite layup (e.g., Virtek, Aligned Vision)\nFamiliarity with propeller or rotating composite structure fabrication and metal-to-composite bonding\nExperience developing or following aerospace process specifications and work instructions\nFamiliarity with aerospace quality systems, NCR processes, and FAA-regulated manufacturing environments\nExperience with ERP/MES systems for production tracking (e.g., ION)\nProficiency in 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA (3DX) or SolidWorks (Engineer track)\nAdditional Information\nCompensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $35-42/hr. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.\nJoby 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.\nJoby is an Equal Opportunity Employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4348,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Restricted stock units"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Chemical Engineering","Advanced Materials","Materials Science & Nanotechnology","Aircraft Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T12:10:51Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-30T22:48:10Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-11-06T00:41:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.64,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":64,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T06:52:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":84000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/joby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/joby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T15:12:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1120,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":176372},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176372"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjoby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fjoby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fjoby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/joby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjoby-aviation-composite-materials-process-engineering-technician"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":465195}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"jobyaviation.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":465195},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
