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 At Vertical Aerospace, you''ll be part of a fast-moving, collaborative engineering environment where no two days are the same. This is a hands-on, influential role at the heart of aircraft build and commissioning, working across disciplines to turn cutting-edge design into reality. You''ll have the opportunity to shape manufacturing processes, support team development, and step into a deputy role, sharing leadership responsibility within the Manufacturing Engineering function. What you''ll do • Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure robust manufacturing processes and procedures that meet overall aircraft requirements • Produce detailed process planning to support aircraft build and commissioning activities • Define and implement manufacturing requiremen
