Aircraft Painter- Experienced Apply
Joby AviationLocated in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. 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. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We've designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. 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 launching our initial commercial service.ResponsibilitiesPaint Application using HVLP and Electro-Static paint systemsEquipment Set Up and MaintenanceMaintaining 6S principles of Sorting, Systematic Arrangement, Shining, Standardizing, Sustaining and SafetySurface PreparationDetailed MaskingApplication of base coats, top coats, and clear coatsThe ideal candidate will possess the ability to work with little to no supervision.Performs moderately complex to complex filling operations related to the cosmetic appearance of the part being workedRemoves excess material and prepares the surface for finishingPerforms difficult masking operationsDocuments the work performed on the work ordersSeeks methods to cross train to develop technical skills and business knowledgePolishes and waxes finished surfaces by cutting and buffing finished surfacesRequiredHigh School diploma or GED equivalent3-5 years Aircraft Painting Experience or similarRequires excellent communication skillsAbility to work from heights and wear safety gearMust be able to wear a respirator and pass routine medical testingAbility to see colorsStrong buffing and polishing skillsAbility to spray a variety of paints and finishesCalculates mix ratios in order to mix sealant, filler materials, and paintMust have experience cutting and buffing polyesters, urethanes, and acrylic clear coatsExperience applying primer, topcoat paint, and any spray-applied coatings to detailed parts, sub-assemblies and major assemblies of aircraft interiors to customer or company specifications and industry quality standardsFamiliar with and have operational knowledge of department toolsReads work orders, blueprints, and specificationsAbility to work in a safe professional manner adhering to all regulatory requirements including, OSHA, EPA, State and Federal regulationsAbility to work in a team environment, flexible hours and different shifts if requiredDesiredJoby Aviation 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 Aviation is an Equal Opportunity Employer.Additional InformationJoby is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
