Our Mission
At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The Valo, 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. Valo is targeting airliner-level safety certification in 2028 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers.
The Manufacturing Engineering Industrialisation team leads the New Product Introduction and industrialisation of the manufacturing and assembly systems needed to take our Valo aircraft from prototype to full production. We deliver Manufacturing Engineering excellence to the business to enable the NPI and industrialisation of our products and bring them to market.
What You'll Do
The Manufacturing Engineer – Facilities & Industrial Modelling will lead the definition, design, co-ordination, set-up and validation of the production facilities required to deliver Vertical Aerospace assembly facilities. In collaboration with other functions and manufacturing engineering teams you will act as a central co-ordinating role in the organisation, setup and integration of the facility requirements to deliver a functional production facility. You will also be accountable for translating production requirements into optimised facility layouts, line configurations, material flows and resource models. Utilising digital modelling, simulation and industrial planning to ensure the production facilities are production ready and rate capable whilst enabling cost-effective assembly systems aligned to Vertical Aerospace’s long term manufacturing strategy. This role is critical to Vertical Aerospace’s success in establishing and setting up capable and cost-effective Production facilities.
