About the job
Our Vision
At Vertical Aerospace, we are at the forefront of transforming electric aviation. Our innovative aircraft, the Valo, is an eVTOL (electric, vertical take-off and landing) vehicle that promises zero emissions and sets a new benchmark for safety in air travel.
We are committed to breaking away from traditional aerospace processes to redefine industry standards. As we transition from a prototype-focused company to a growing SME, the upcoming years are crucial for our success, with plans to achieve airliner-level safety certification for Valo by 2028, paving the way for service with our airline and operator partners.
Your Role
As a Senior Test Technician, you will be instrumental in the construction, commissioning, and testing of electric and hybrid prototype test rigs and their components. This dynamic role within a fast-paced R&D environment will see you collaborating with engineers across mechanical, electrical, and systems domains to ensure our powertrain rigs meet the highest quality and readiness for extensive testing.
Daily tasks may include assembling mechanical and electrical components from engineering schematics, wiring high-voltage systems, assisting with dynamometer tests, or upgrading and maintaining existing test rigs.
