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.About the team This role sits within our Charging Team, which is responsible for developing and delivering global charging solutions that meet customer needs, minimise operational costs, and enable reliable, high-performance electric flight. The team works closely with aircraft engineering, energy systems, and commercial teams to design charging systems that are safe, certifiable, and deployable at scale.What to Expect As a Power Electronics Design Engineer you’ll define and deliver the power and energy systems that support Valo’s charging infrastructure worldwide. From high-power DC charging systems to battery integration for grid management, you’ll own the specification, integration, and validation of key components - working from early requirements through to implementation at real-world sites.

Vertical Aerospace builds technology to revolutionize how people fly, by making air travel personal, on-demand, and carbon-free. Since its inception in 2016, Vertical Aerospace has grown to over 70 world-class engineers and technical experts, recruited from the likes of Airbus, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, and Jaguar Land Rover. In 2019 they launched its second aircraft, the Seraph, making the first company in the world to release flight footage of an aircraft capable of carrying 250kg.
