Job Description
Company Overview:
Joby 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.
Joby is an Equal Opportunity Employer
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:
Joby Aviation is looking for a hands-on engineer who doesn't stay in their lane. You'll join our Ground Support Equipment team in San Carlos, working on the off-aircraft systems that keep our VTOL aircraft flying: charging infrastructure, thermal conditioning equipment, and the embedded controls that tie it all together. This role lives at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, firmware, and software. The best candidates we've hired are just as comfortable writing embedded C++ as they are reading a schematic or bolting together a prototype. Built something complicated on your own time? A high-voltage EV conversion, an off-grid power system, a competitive robot? That's exactly the kind of instinct we're looking for.
Responsibilities:
- Develop an integration plan for a system consisting of electrical, mechatronic, mechanical, embedded and hydronic subsystems
- Select components including but not limited to sensors, interconnects, actuators, gateways and controllers that solve for cost, performance and functionality
- Assist in assembly and integration of prototype systems
- Lead root cause analysis and troubleshooting efforts for system-level failures, especially those involving interactions between hardware, firmware and software
- Script routines to exercise functionality of systems
- Create documentation for manufacturing test, commissioning, maintenance and operation
- Support system function testing and perform functional testing
- Support system certification and perform certification testing
- Diagnose operational issues with multi-disciplinary causes remotely and on site
- Travel domestically and internationally to support field deployments — for the right candidate, an opportunity to see where this technology lands in the real world
- B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field and 5+ years of related technical experience (including mechanical, electrical, computer and robotics / mechatronics engineering)
- Strong fundamentals in electrical and mechanical engineering
- Solid understanding of DC/AC circuits, signal integrity, and power electronics
- Solid understanding of networking topologies and communication protocols (eg CAN, Modbus, RS485, Ethernet, TCP/IP, VLANS and MQTT)
- Fluent in C/C++, Python
- Comfortable with mechanical and electrical CAD software
- Experience reading and creating electrical schematics
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment for testing and debugging (oscilloscopes, multimeters, data acquisition systems)
- Fluency in embedded systems — comfortable diving into a codebase to understand system behavior, not just interface with it
- Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field and 8+ years of related technical experience (including mechanical, electrical, computer and robotics / mechatronics engineering)
- Experience with industrial automation equipment
- Experience with thermal and fluid process equipment
- Experience with electric vehicle charging protocols and standards
Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $137,700 - $221,700/yr. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Joby 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.

Mid Level Ground Systems Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level ground systems engineer job?
Position your experience around concrete ownership: subsystems you designed end to end, integration problems you solved, and decisions you drove without heavy supervision. Tailor your resume to reflect depth in areas like RF communications, command and telemetry, or mission operations rather than listing broad exposure. Certifications in systems engineering or model-based systems engineering strengthen mid level applications meaningfully.
Which companies hire mid level ground systems engineers?
Companies hiring mid level ground systems engineers right now include Lockheed Martin, Blue Origin, and Atlantic Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Defense contractors, aerospace primes, civil space agencies, and satellite communications firms make up the core employers hiring at this level.
Are there remote mid level ground systems engineer jobs?
Yes, though most roles at this level involve hands-on integration work that limits full-remote options. About 3% of mid level ground systems engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with hybrid arrangements most common at employers where lab and mission operations access is required only part of the week.
How do I move up to a mid level ground systems engineer role?
The path from entry level to mid level is built through progressively owning pieces of a system rather than just supporting others. Engineers who advance demonstrate measurable contributions: a subsystem they brought from design to test, a process they improved, or a problem they diagnosed independently. Deep proficiency in one technical domain, whether antenna systems, ground software, or link budgets, signals readiness for mid level responsibility.
Which industries hire the most mid level ground systems engineers?
Mid Level ground systems engineer roles concentrate in Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Airlines, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive demand because they operate complex spacecraft, satellite constellations, or defense platforms that require dedicated ground infrastructure and engineers experienced enough to own it.
