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. We are seeking a Solution Architect to design and govern the digital systems that power our aircraft lifecycle - from concept and certification through to manufacturing and continued airworthiness. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of aircraft programmes, digital product teams, and enterprise platforms, ensuring technical coherence as we scale. What You''ll Do Solution and Systems Architecture Designing end-to-end solution architectures supporting aircraft design, flight test, certification, manufacturing readiness, and in-service operations Defining integrations across engineering systems (PLM, requirements, simulation), manufacturing platforms (MES, quality), and enterprise systems (ERP, data platforms) Ensuring solutions scale from prototype and certification phases into
