Description
Our mission
At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The VX4, our eVTOL (electric, vertical, take-off and landing), 'zero emissions' aircraft will set a new safety standard for how we will navigate the sky.
We won't realise our mission following the same legacy processes and traditions our predecessors followed, instead, we want to 'redefine' aerospace best practices.
We are growing quickly from a prototype business to a scaling SME, and the next few years will be critical to our success and delivering on our ambitious goals of having the VX4 in service by 2030.
What To Expect
As an Advanced Systems Installation Design Engineer, you will join our Vehicle Physical Design team based in Bristol. This team owns the physical design of the aircraft which includes the management of physical integration, configuration management, mass properties, EWIS, systems installations and trade studies between the system and structural design teams to ensure the final vehicle is the best product we can deliver to our customers.
A typical day could involve working closely with multiple systems and airframe teams, developing solutions to complex installation problems. You will bring your passion for designing novel aviation products, coupled with industry experience, to deliver robust, manufacturable and maintainable installation solutions.
The ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines and communicate technical information clearly will be crucial to your success in this role.
What You'll Do
We're on a mission. Where others see limits, we see opportunity, and we work at pace. Working at Vertical isn't your average role but for those seeking a challenge, a flexible, supportive organisation and an incredible team; working here is an opportunity to do the best work of your career.
Our approach promotes ingenuity and courage, while our environment builds success through diligence in safety and being open in the way we work. The only way we're going to assure the next chapter of aviation history is by working as a team, relentlessly, towards our goal.
Our Benefits
Our people matter - we're not going anywhere without them. Which is why our company benefits go beyond the essentials.
