Nondestructive Test (NDT) Ultrasonic (UT) Inspector
Joby Aviation, California, MO, United States
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 highly organized, passionate individual to join our
Quality Assurance team
as an
Nondestructive Test (NDT) Ultrasonic Test (UT) Level II inspector . As we are building and certifying an advanced composite airframe that also includes additively manufactured parts, this position is responsible for inspecting carbon composite, bonded structures, metallics, and other advanced structures using ultrasonic, digital radiography, liquid penetrant, or other state‑of‑the‑art methods. This is an opportunity to participate in developing a complete system, including influencing structural design, fabrication methods, and operational support of a new aircraft. Hands‑on experience and a “get it done” attitude are very important for this position. This position is rewarding, as the engineer will promptly see their ideas grow from concept to creation due to the fast pace of Joby Aviation.

Work with the design engineering, testing, and QA teams to create robust inspection processes that have the right level of resolution for the application, acceptable process throughput, and can be accomplished consistently by the QA department in serial production
Assist in sourcing inspection equipment and work with suppliers to build inspection capability needed to support aggressive production rates
Implement business processes to integrate QA data with the PLM/MES systems to capture inspection results and test reports against design data
Required
Previous UT Level II certification, meeting NAS 410 requirements
High School diploma (or GED) plus minimum 2+ years of experience in a UT nondestructive testing method (UT, RT, PT)
Understanding of composite or metallic processing defects
Desire to implement a holistic system to characterize manufacturing process outcome to create safe, economical aircraft structures at high production rates
Desired
Bachelor of Science degree in technology or engineering discipline
4+ years of experience in applying non-destructive inspection and testing practices to laminated advanced composite structures
4+ years of experience in applying non-destructive inspection and testing practices to 3D printed metallics
Experience using Phased Array Ultrasonic testing (PAUT) equipment
