Our MissionAt Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The VX4, 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 of having the VX4 in service by 2030.What to expectWe are seeking a highly talented Avionic Systems Engineer to participate in the design, development and integration of the Communication, Navigation and Surveillance Systems for an eVTOL platform.The candidate will have a solid foundation in avionics and hands-on experience of system design, integration, and verification activities. You will contribute to the full lifecycle of avionics development, including system definition, integration testing and support for certification processes.This role is ideal for someone who is working towards becoming a "Senior" Engineer with relevant experience and is ready to take ownership of key subsystems or technical work packages.What you'll do<ul style=""><li>Avionics: Support the Data and Communications Systems team with communication, navigation and surveillance system design and integration activities.
