Newport, United Kingdom Vertical Aerospace Full time

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.
The Manufacturing Engineering Industrialisation team leads the New Product Introduction and industrialisation of the manufacturing and assembly systems needed to take our VX4 aircraft from prototype to full production. We deliver Manufacturing Engineering excellence to the business to enable the NPI and industrialisation of our products and bring them to market.
The Manufacturing Engineer – Aircraft will support the development and industrialisation of Vertical Aerospace manufacturing and assembly systems to support our products entry to low-rate production. The ME - aircraft will also lead the industrialisation of the production systems to support the increase in production volume required to meet our targets. This role is crucial to Vertical Aerospace’s successful entry to low-rate production and will be instrumental in defining the necessary changes in the manufacturing and assembly systems required to meet our production volumes.
