Material Flow Expediter

Joby 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. 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 onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

Overview

We’re seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Materials Expediter to support our production teams. In this role, you’ll be responsible for ensuring all required parts and materials are tracked, available, and delivered to the manufacturing teams on time. You'll also play a critical role in supporting new product launches by coordinating the flow of parts for initial builds, working closely with quality, supply chain, and design to prevent delays and keep production flowing in a fast-paced environment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on logistics, problem-solving, and being a go-to person on the shop floor.

Responsibilities

• Ensure parts and materials for all production builds, including first-of-their-kind products, are available and staged for manufacturing on schedule.
• Track part deliveries, inventory status, and internal movement of materials to avoid production delays.
• Follow up with the quality team to prioritize inspection of critical parts and ensure they’re cleared for use, especially during new product assembly.
• Assist with sending parts to external suppliers (e.g., for finishing, machining, or processing) and track expected return dates.
• Maintain real-time visibility of part readiness and provide regular updates to manufacturing and engineering teams.
• Coordinate internally to resolve shortages, substitutions, or missing items quickly.
• Work closely with the supply chain team to stay informed on order statuses and delivery timelines.
• Participate in build readiness meetings with accurate, up-to-date material tracking information.
• Support general manufacturing operations by ensuring materials are always in the right place at the right time.

Required

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Operations, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 1–4 years of experience in a production support, expediting, or operations coordination role (startup or high-paced environment a plus).
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Familiarity with part flow, material handling, and production processes.
• Experience with ERP or inventory tracking systems.
• Excellent communicator and team player—able to collaborate across departments.
• Comfortable working hands-on in a manufacturing environment and taking initiative to solve problems quickly.
