How does swipeandhired work?

You set your target roles, salary floor and locations once. swipeandhired scores matching postings against your profile, drafts tailored application materials with AI, and either lets you swipe to apply, one tap at a time, or runs fully on autopilot. Every application is tracked in your dashboard.

Which ATS platforms does swipeandhired support?

All of them. swipeandhired applies on every applicant tracking system (ATS) employers use, including Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Ashby, Taleo, SuccessFactors, Oracle Cloud and Jobvite, and on a company's own careers page when it uses none of them. You can also bring any posting yourself by link or pasted text.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, in one click from the billing portal in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.

Is my data used for training AI models?

Our platform AI provider may use the content we send it, your profile and the job posting, to improve its models. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

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

The Hydrogen Storage team is seeking a highly capable, hands-on Mechanical Engineer to support the development of cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage systems. This is a core individual contributor position for an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of system-level requirements and detailed mechanical design, and who is motivated to take true ownership of
critical hardware.

This role will have primary ownership of the vacuum shell for the cryogenic tank system, including structural design, thermal considerations, sealing strategy, test planning, engineering decision-making, drawing release, and overall project execution. The ideal candidate is a strong mechanical generalist with experience or interest in cryogenic systems and a demonstrated ability to optimize solutions at the system level through thoughtful, detail-level engineering
execution. You are comfortable moving between first-principles thinking, hand calculations, CAD design, supplier interaction, and hands-on hardware development in a fast-paced aerospace environment.

We are looking for an engaged, creative, and fundamentally solid mechanical engineer with excellent cultural fit for a highly collaborative, design-build-test team.

Responsibilities

Own the design and development of the cryogenic tank vacuum shell, including structural layout, interfaces, sealing features, and manufacturability considerations.
Develop and execute test plans to validate vacuum shell performance, including structural, thermal, and leak-tightness verification.
Take responsibility for engineering decisions, trade studies, and documentation associated with the vacuum shell and related hardware.
Generate and release detailed CAD models, drawings, and configuration-controlled documentation.
Translate system-level performance, mass, thermal, and safety requirements into robust mechanical designs.
Perform hand calculations and simple simulations to evaluate strength, stiffness, modal behavior, buckling, and thermal expansion.
Support material selection for cryogenic applications, including evaluation of high-performance alloys, composites, and sealing materials.
Contribute broadly to other mechanical design efforts across the hydrogen storage system as part of the design-build-test cycle.
Engage directly in hardware builds, troubleshooting, and development testing, rolling up sleeves to help get hardware designed, built, and tested.
Collaborate cross-functionally with structures, thermal, propulsion, manufacturing, and test teams to deliver integrated solutions.

Required

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
3 to 7 years of mechanical engineering experience in aerospace, energy, cryogenics, or other high-performance hardware environments.
Strong fundamentals in solid mechanics, heat transfer, and materials behavior.
Demonstrated ability to perform first-principles hand calculations and use basic FEA or thermal analysis tools.
Experience with 3D CAD and engineering drawing creation and release.
Familiarity with precision machining, fabrication processes, and tolerance stack-ups.
Working knowledge of composite structures and materials, with willingness to learn composite layup definition and drawing practices as applied to 3DX environments.
Excellent problem-solving skills and comfort working in an iterative hardware development environment.
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines.

Desired

Experience with cryogenic systems or liquid hydrogen applications.
Exposure to vacuum systems or vacuum-insulated structures.
Experience with high-performance seals and leak-tight assemblies.
Familiarity with cryogenic-compatible materials and thermal contraction considerations.
Experience supporting hardware testing and development builds in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
