About the role
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. 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.
Overview
As Senior Flight Test Technical Program Manager, you will own and manage the long-range strategy and cross-program orchestration that keeps our flight test fleet on the path to certification. You'll drive test campaigns and test plans through our gate review process, set the Flight Test Fleet Integrated Master Schedule strategy, and provide executive-level risk and schedule reporting that shapes high-stakes decisions on certification, safety, and test campaign completion.
This role is deeply integrated with the Program Management Office (PMO) and interfaces closely with Systems Technical Program Managers. You'll be the primary bridge between the flight test strategy and the company's broader program plans — ensuring flight test milestones, risks, and resource needs are reflected in PMO-level reporting, and that flight test strategy stays aligned with the company-level roadmaps.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll mentor a lean, high-performing team and make strategic trade-offs, while partnering closely with the Flight Test Lead, Chief Test Pilot, Operations Manager, FTE Leads, the Systems Technical Program Managers, the PMO, and design engineering, safety, and certification stakeholders.
