Joby OverviewLocated in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system.

We're looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onwards toward certifying the Joby aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, scaling our manufacturing, and preparing to launch commercial service in 2025.OverviewAs the UAEs first market launch associate, you will work directly with Jobys Middle East General Manager to prepare the Dubai market for a successful market launch.
