Landing Gear Design 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 a Design Engineer who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, developing novel concepts and working with suppliers to turn ideas into practical solutions.

You’ll bring a sound understanding of landing gear or comparable mechanical systems, alongside demonstrated experience managing engineering suppliers. Landing gear experience is valuable, but we’re equally interested in the skills you’ve developed through brake, hydraulic or other relevant mechanical systems.

We welcome engineers at different stages of their careers to apply. Your responsibilities will reflect y
