Advanced Stress Engineer

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.

We’re looking for an Advanced Stress Engineer to join our Airframe Engineering team and help develop the structures of our next-generation aircraft.

You’ll combine your knowledge of structural mechanics with practical stress analysis experience to support design, testing and certification. Taking ownership of defined analysis tasks, you’ll work alongside senior engineers on more complex assessments and continue to develop your technical expertise.

This role will suit someone who enjoys solving structural engineering problems, working across disciplines and contributing to improvements in
