CAD Electrical Engineer

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.

Job Overview

The CAD Electrical Engineer supports the Equipment Build Manufacturing team in the design, specification, and continuous improvement of automated and semi-automated machines used for production and testing purposes. This individual works closely with cross-functional teams — including Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Production, and Quality Engineering — to deliver safe, reliable, and well-documented electrical control systems in a fast-paced, high-expectation manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

What You Will Get to Do

Primary Duties

• Work with Design Engineering and Manufacturing Test Engineering to define requirements for acceptance testing of product designs.
• Draw clear panel layouts and wiring diagrams based on industry safety standards (e.g. NFPA 79).
• Select electrical hardware and correctly size wires and components.
• Map out network and communication links for automated and semi-automated equipment.
• Create and maintain up-to-date documentation, including electrical schematics, one-line diagrams, wire harness drawings, and complete BOMs (parts and spares).
• Drive continuous improvement on deployed, qualified automated machines.
• Update final drawings to match “as-built” changes, following current drafting and dimensioning standards (e.g. ASME Y14.5).
• Support design reviews to confirm that electrical designs can be built, tested, and maintained efficiently and in compliance with internal requirements.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Production, and Quality Engineering.
• Assist in lifecycle changes and release of electrical drawings and documentation.
• Support the Equipment Build Manufacturing team with administrative tasks as needed.
