At 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.
As part of our Manufacturing Engineering Industrialisation team, you’ll play a key role in taking the VX4 from prototype to full-scale production. This team leads the New Product Introduction (NPI) and industrialisation of our manufacturing and assembly systems, enabling Vertical Aerospace to bring our revolutionary aircraft to market. You will be instrumental in developing and industrialising the manufacturing systems that will support the VX4’s entry into low-rate production and beyond. You’ll help define and deliver the changes needed to meet our production volume targets, ensuring our transition from innovation to industrial excellence.
You’ll work closely with design, operations, and supply chain teams to embed manufacturing excellence at every stage — from concept through to serial production.
Lead and embed Design for Manufacture (DfM) with a focus on composite manufacturing.
Drive industrialisation activities across composite and assembly domains, including within the supply chain.
Define and implement Manufacturing Engineering best practices for the VX4.
Develop and industrialise manufacturing capabilities for Vertical Aerospace’s production facilities.
Embed lean manufacturing principles across our operations.
Champion continuous improvement and innovation in composite manufacturing and assembly processes.
