Job Description
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.
Responsibilities
* Design composite and metallic airframe structures using CATIA / 3DEXPERIENCE, from initial concept through to production-ready definition
* Develop mass- and function-optimised solutions that meet structural, manufacturing, and certification requirements
* Create detailed design data to support part manufacture and assembly build
* Work across fuselage, wing, and pylon structures to ensure robust integration across the aircraft
* Participate in multi-disciplinary design reviews throughout the aircraft development lifecycle
* Provide hands-on design support to the aircraft build process, responding clearly and pragmatically to shop-floor queries
* Collaborate with stress, manufacturing, and certification teams to ensure compliance and readiness for certification
Qualifications
* Experience designing both composite and metallic structures within an aerospace or similarly regulated industry
* Understanding of structural design fundamentals, including tolerances and key characteristics
* Awareness of interchangeability principles and their importance in aircraft assembly
* Familiarity with aircraft structural certification and methods of demonstrating compliance
* Confident communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines
* Experience using CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE in a professional setting
* A degree in aerospace, mechanical, or a related engineering discipline
