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 2028 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers.The Manufacturing Engineering Industrialisation team leads the New Product Introduction and industrialisation of the manufacturing and assembly systems needed to take our Valo aircraft from prototype to full production. We deliver Manufacturing Engineering excellence to the business to enable the NPI and industrialisation of our products and bring them to market.What you'll do The Manufacturing Engineer – Facilities &amp; Industrial Modelling will lead the definition, design, co-ordination, set-up and validation of the production facilities required to deliver Vertical Aerospace assembly facilities. In collaboration with other functions and manufacturing engineering teams you will act as a central co-ordinating role in the organisation, setup and integration of the facility requirements to deliver a functional production facility. You will also be accountable for translating production requirements into optimised facility layouts, line configurations, material flows and resource models. Utilising digital modelling, simulation and industrial planning to ensure the production facilities are production ready and rate capable whilst enabling cost-effective assembly systems aligned to Vertical Aerospace’s long term manufacturing strategy. This role is critical to Vertical Aerospace’s success in establishing and setting up capable and cost-effective Production facilities.· Digitally validated factory and line layouts delivered in Delmia· Embed lean manufacturing principles into Vertical Aerospace Production facilities· Deliver Production line concepts defined and industrially proven· Integrate facility and production system models in Delmia/3DX· Produce and own facility requirements and spend cases· Co-ordination of cross functional teams to deliver functional cost-effective production facilities· Leading the specification of facility and utility requirements necessary to deliver production capability· Managing the delivery and validation of assets required to enable production facility operationWhat you'll bring· 3-6+ years in Manufacturing Engineering teams with hands-on experience of process definition and generation· Proven experience in generating manufacturing process data including process plans, MBOM and work instructions· Strong practical use of Delmia and the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform· Experience in supporting industrialisation or early production· Understanding of APQP and PPAP is desirable· Ability to work at pace in a dynamic programme environment· Strong attention to detail, organisation and digital disciplinesWhat can you expect from us?We're on a mission.
