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
Working as a Senior Global Supply Manager (Sr. GSM), you will be responsible for the strategic and tactical procurement activities on Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) and Flexible Printed Circuit Assemblies (FPCAs) to support acquisition for Joby Aviation. The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise in sourcing, including contract manufacturing, PCBA, FPCA, components, and semiconductor supply chains. Using your industry knowledge, you will work with our finance, legal, engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to oversee the contract negotiation and establishment of Master Purchase Agreements with our suppliers. The GSM will build and maintain robust supplier relationships to achieve cost, quality, and delivery objectives in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
