Jobs is the Gekko's engineer and de facto maintenance guy—he handles pretty much everything hardware-related on the ship, from routine repairs to critical systems during powered flights and combat situations. You'll usually find him in the core systems room when things get intense. He's got this polished, professional look down to a science: always wearing a shirt, vest, and tie with the composure to match. That said, his cool exterior cracks pretty easily when something genuinely interests him—get him talking about engineering and he'll light up.
Like Gonzy, Jobs started out as a stowaway but proved too valuable to throw overboard, thanks to his technical skills. He's a devoted fan of Dr. Bear's research and engineering work, which speaks volumes about where his interests lie. The character was clearly designed as a nod to Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder, though the show's Jobs is more grease-under-the-fingernails engineer than visionary entrepreneur.
