Revolutionising urban air mobility and electrifying air travel

Why work with us? 

We at Vertical Aerospace are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, creating technology to achieve sustainable air travel like never before. Vertical comprises a world-class team of leaders, experts, engineers who're all striving towards the same goal, to make air travel personal, on-demand, and carbon free. This is your chance to be a part of this extraordinary team.

Vertical is one the world’s leading eVTOL businesses, and a pioneer of this ground-breaking new segment, which marks the beginning of sustainable aviation. 

Founded in 2016, Vertical uniquely combines the best of the aerospace, Formula 1 and automotive industries and has become one of only seven companies globally to have successfully flown multiple full-scale eVTOL prototypes.  The VX4, is a world-leading fully composite tilt-rotor winged eVTOL that will carry one pilot and four passengers or cargo.  VX4 is in plan to be certified in late 2025, placing the business in the top two companies globally with a commercially viable aircraft capable of spanning intra and intercity passenger and cargo eVTOL markets. 

The responsibilities and duties of Advanced Manufacturing Engineer (Electrical/EWIS) will be as follows:

 This role will serve as the a key point of contact when designing and communicating Manufacturing solutions for all production and prototype aircraft builds. In this role you will:

  • Working closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure the suitable processes and procedures are designed to meet the overall aircraft build requirements.
  • You need have experience of assembly of complex aircraft structures and systems in order to translate engineering design intent into manufacturing process instructions and identify control requirements
  • This role will require both adaptability to processes on the shop floor during prototype build, but also planning skills to translate engineering releases into production and assembly methods.
  • The role requires the raising of paperwork associated with deviation from the formalised build process, working with the engineers and build team to ensure records are created and maintained, along with raising appropriate concern/corrective action records.
  • This role will require the candidate to effectively check and feedback on engineering design release data, identifying areas which need to be modified or enhanced to ensure all manufacturing information is included in the final release. Therefore a knowledge of GD&T and standardised design release information would be an advantage.
  • You will need to create suitable manufacturing requirements to ensure the final product meets both engineering specification and also to ensure Manufacturability and repeatability at higher production volume targets.  
  • You are a team player that has great communication skills. 

The successful Advanced Manufacturing Engineer will have the following Experience & Qualifications:

We seek a unique individual, who can integrate into a fast paced and highly adaptive environment. A career background in aerospace or automotive manufacturing engineering or advanced manufacturing would be particularly advantageous, together with an interest in green technology and/or aviation. You will need:

  • Degree or suitable experience in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Proven capability of assembly and build principles of composite structures
  • A demonstrable track record of working in a advanced manufacturing team, with expertise in assembly process creation and implementation.
  • Technical signature in manufacturing assembly and build principles
  • Ability to solve new problems in a fast paced start-up environment
  • Experience of developing manufacturing processes and requirements
  • IT skills and experience of Catia and 3D Experience would be a benefit
