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. What to Expect As a Structural Test Rig Analysis Engineer, you will take full ownership of the structural analysis of test rigs supporting The Valo development and certification. This role is primarily analysis-driven. You will be responsible for ensuring that all rig structures are statically and fatigue substantiated, compliant with certification requirements, and defensible at formal design reviews. You will be involved from initial rig concept through to Critical Design Review (CDR), release, and certification test support. While hands-on rig and test involvement is beneficial, the core need is strong structural analysis capability and ownership mindset. What You''ll Do Take full ownership of static and fatigue analysis of structural test rigs. Develop and validate FEM models and supp
