Vertical Aerospace Benefits Overview

Lead stress analysis and structural substantiation for composite and metallic eVTOL airframe structures. Develop analysis strategies, perform hand calculations and FEA, support certification, approve technical reports and drawings, coordinate multidisciplinary engineering activities, and mentor junior engineers. The role covers structural behavior, failure modes, material selection, verification evidence, and product development from concept through certification.

Own airframe designs from incomplete or inherited definition through design for manufacture, engineering release, build, installation, and flight testing. Approve drawings and technical reports, coordinate engineers and contractors, integrate structures with aircraft systems, develop verification and certification evidence, resolve manufacturing and assembly issues, manage safety risks, and mentor junior engineers.

Develop and execute procurement strategies for an eVTOL aircraft program across airframe, propellers, powertrain and energy storage, or mechanical systems. Lead market research, supplier selection, RFI/RFP processes, complex contract negotiations, supplier performance management, and commercial risk mitigation. Partner with engineering and program stakeholders to support cost, quality, reliability, and on-time delivery objectives across a global aerospace supply chain.
