Principal Flight Control Laws Engineer
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.

You''ll work across teams and suppliers, set technical direction, champion rigour and be the face of control laws internally and externally. What you''ll do Lead the architecture, development, implementation and tuning of non-linear dynamic inversion control laws for a fly-by-wire eVTOL. Ensure the control laws meet performance, robust
