Vertical Aerospace

Our Mission At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The Valo, 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. Valo is targeting airliner-level safety certification in 2029 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers. What to Expect As a Senior Systems Integration Engineer, you will take ownership of how the EPU is physically integrated into the aircraft, ensuring it performs safely, efficiently, and reliably throughout its lifecycle. Reporting into the Head of EPU, you will work at the centre of the aircraft architecture, collaborating closely with structures, stress, manufacturing, maintenance, and supplier teams. You will balance competing priorities - from managing complex interfaces and configurations to reducing mass and ensuring structural integrity - while supporting certification activities. This role offers the opportunity to shape a critical system that carries primary load paths within the aircraft, with direct impact on safety, performance, and delivery. What You’ll Do * Own the physical integration of the Electric Propulsion Unit (EPU) into the aircraft, ensuring safe, efficient, and certifiable installation * Define and manage EPU space allocation within the aircraft digital mock-up, maintaining alignment as the design evolves * Deliver 3D CAD models and installation drawings to support design, manufacturing, and certification * Establish and control physical interfaces through clear interface definitions and documentation, aligning with internal teams and external suppliers * Translate integration needs into structured, verifiable requirements and lead their validation * Drive mass reduction across the EPU installation while maintaining structural integrity and safety margins * Manage EPU configurations and ensure consistency across design, analysis, and build * Work with stress and fatigue specialists to ensure the structure and interfaces meet lifetime load requirements * Define verification approaches and support test activities to demonstrate compliance with certification requirements * Contribute to certification activities, including documentation and engagement with regulatory authorities What You’ll Bring * A degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive Engineering, or equivalent experience * Experience integrating electro-mechanical systems or complex powertrain systems in aerospace, automotive, marine, rail or similar context * Confidence working across interacting and aligning with multiple disciplines and functions to deliver an optimised integration solution * Experience defining physical interfaces, writing clear and structured requirements, and validating them effectively * Understanding of aerospace materials, mechanical fastening, and structural design principles * Understanding of mechanical loads and how stress and fatigue considerations influence design * Experience using CAD tools such as CATIA to integrate components and produce installation drawings * Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with internal teams, suppliers, and external partners * Good organisational skills and the ability to manage detailed work in a fast-paced environment * Familiarity with configuration management and version control Nice to Have * Experience supporting structural or mechanical testing activities * Exposure to stress or fatigue analysis in an aerospace environment * Understanding of electric propulsion systems, including motors, inverters, and control principles * Experience working with high-voltage systems * Experience across the full product lifecycle, from concept through to production and in-service support * Familiarity with requirements management tools such as DOORS or JAMA * Experience using data analysis tools such as MATLAB or Python What can you expect from us? We're on a mission. Where others see limits, we see opportunity, and we work at pace. Working at Vertical isn't your average role but for those seeking a challenge, a flexible, supportive organisation and an incredible team; working here is an opportunity to do the best work of your career. Our approach promotes ingenuity and courage, while our environment builds success through diligence in safety and being open in the way we work. The only way we're going to assure the next chapter of aviation history is by working as a team, relentlessly, towards our goal.  Our benefits Our people matter - we're not going anywhere without them. Which is why our company benefits go beyond the essentials. * 26 days holiday, plus bank holiday * 5 extra days per year to buy (or sell) * 5 extra days holiday when you get married or enter a civil partnership * Additional 4% of your salary to spend on extra benefits * Award-winning digital health and wellbeing service (Help@Hand) * Company performance based bonus - rewarding company and individual performance * Company Share Scheme - open to every Vertical employee * Company Pension Scheme - 5% and we match it * Breakfast on us, every day We may just be the hardest job you've ever had, but we're confident it will be the most rewarding.

Valo is targeting airliner-level safety certification in 2029 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers. WHAT TO EXPECT As an Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer (Thermal Runaway), you will join our Energy Storage team, working on one of the most critical safety challenges in electric aviation: thermal runaway prevention, mitigation and containment. You will play a key role in progressing thermal runaway testing, analysing test data, and translating insights into robust mechanical designs, simulations and qualification strategies. This role sits at the heart of our battery safety and certification journey. A typical day could involve supporting live thermal runaway tests, analysing results to inform next-stage design or simulation, collaborating with stress and manufacturing teams, or developing qualification strategies for novel materials and components. This role is well suited to an engineer who enjoys technically complex problems, thrives in fast-paced development environments, and wants to own meaningful safety-critical hardware. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Support and progress thermal runaway testing activities at cell, module and pack level * Analyse thermal runaway test data to guide simulation, design, manufacturing and future test activity * Develop and own mechanical designs and mitigation concepts related to thermal runaway containment * Work closely with stress, manufacturing, quality and test teams to deliver compliant, certifiable designs * Support the definition of verification and qualification strategies, balancing test coverage with certification requirements * Contribute to the qualification of novel materials and processes for battery safety applications * Own at least one thermal runaway–related commodity through design, test and Critical Design Review * Produce high-quality CAD, drawings and PLM data using Dassault 3DX / CATIA * Support key Energy Storage milestones including Battery CDR (Q3 2026) WHAT YOU’LL BRING * Mechanical design experience within complex electro-mechanical systems (battery systems highly desirable) * Understanding of thermal runaway prevention, mitigation and/or containment methods (a strong differentiator, not a prerequisite) * Experience with thermal runaway testing and/or simulation at cell, module or pack level is highly desirable * Strong understanding of structural, thermal, electrical and manufacturing considerations for HV battery packs, ideally with cylindrical cells * Knowledge of regulated engineering environments; aerospace qualification and certification experience is advantageous * Strong CAD and PLM capability, ideally using Dassault 3DX and CATIA * Experience working in fast-paced engineering teams with evolving processes * Familiarity with DFMEA, GD&T and engineering best practice (ISO GPS / BS8888) * Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or a related engineering discipline DESIRABLE: * Experience contributing to qualification or certification test programmes * Exposure to novel materials or high-rate automated manufacturing processes * Experience in aerospace, automotive, motorsport, defence or energy storage * Working towards Chartered Engineer (CEng) status #LI-AH1 What can you expect from us?
