<h3>Our Mission</h3>At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the future of electric aviation. The VX4, our fully electric, zero-emissions eVTOL aircraft, is set to redefine how we navigate the skies and establish new safety standards for flight.We are not bound by legacy processes. Instead, we aim to reshape aerospace best practices to accelerate the transition to sustainable air travel. As we scale from prototype to a commercial enterprise, the next few years are critical to delivering on our goal of bringing the VX4 into service by 2030.<h3>What to Expect</h3>As an Advanced Electrical Engineer, you will join a growing team of passionate individuals whose primary focus is to design, integrate and test the low-voltage electrical distribution system, that will distribute the power to all critical systems on our fully electric VX4 aircraft. A typical day could involve working closely with multiple system teams, developing solutions to complex installation problems. You will bring your passion for designing and integrating novel aviation products, coupled with industry experience, to deliver robust, and maintainable installation solutions. The ability to manage technical engineering requirements and collaborate effectively across disciplines with strong communication of technical information will be crucial to your success in this role.
