Teams at Vertical Aerospace

Lead stress analysis and structural substantiation for Vertical Aerospace’s next-generation eVTOL aircraft. Analyze composite and metallic airframe structures using hand calculations and FEA, define certification-aligned analysis strategies, approve technical reports and drawings, and coordinate verification evidence. Lead small technical teams, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with design, loads, certification, testing, and manufacturing teams throughout development and certification.

Support end-to-end aerospace airframe program delivery across aerostructures, cabin interiors, EWIS, system installation, and landing gear workstreams. Build integrated schedules, coordinate suppliers, track deliverables, manage risks, monitor cost, schedule and quality, maintain dashboards, and support change control. The role requires close collaboration with engineering teams and readiness to work primarily in Bristol with occasional international travel.

Design and develop landing gear or comparable mechanical systems for an eVTOL aircraft. Manage engineering suppliers, resolve technical issues, support design reviews, tolerance analysis, trade studies, certification evidence, drawings, technical reports, and demonstrator aircraft maintenance. Apply mechanical engineering principles to meet weight, safety, maintainability, and manufacturability requirements while collaborating across engineering teams and external partners.
