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. As a Senior Aircraft Manufacturing Engineer, you''ll join the Manufacturing Engineering Industrialisation team at Vertical Aerospace, where we lead the transition of the Valo aircraft from prototype to full production. This team is responsible for defining, developing, and industrialising the manufacturing and assembly systems required to support New Product Introduction (NPI) and scalable production. You can expect to work at the heart of Vertical''s journey into low-rate production, shaping manufacturing strategy, influencing product design, and embedding best practice across production facilities. The role offers high visibility, significant technical ownership, and the opportunity to directly impact how our aircraft are built as the business scales.
