Principal Flight Dynamics 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 navigate the sky. We do not follow legacy processes; instead we aim to redefine aerospace best practices. The business is scaling from prototype to SME, with 2028 targeting air‑liner level safety certification before entering service with our airline and operator customers.

Role Overview

As a Principal Flight Dynamics Engineer, you will be the technical driving force behind our understanding of the Valo’s aircraft‑level behaviour and handling qualities. Working within the Flight Dynamics team, you will coordinate the strategy for certifying the flight dynamics and handling qualities of our fully electric eVTOL, working closely with colleagues across Airworthiness, Flight Controls, Flight Test, Simulation and wider Flight Physics.
