What is an eVTOL?

An eVTOL job refers to a role in the electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) industry, which focuses on developing, manufacturing, operating, or maintaining electric-powered aircraft that can take off and land vertically. Positions in this field range from engineering and design to flight operations, maintenance, and regulatory compliance. Professionals in eVTOL jobs work on advancing urban air mobility solutions, reducing carbon emissions, and making aerial transportation more efficient.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the eVTOL position?

To thrive in an eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) role—such as a pilot, engineer, or technician—you need a deep understanding of aeronautics, electrical systems, and advanced avionics, often supported by relevant degrees or certifications like Part 107 or A&P licenses. Familiarity with flight management software, battery management systems, and regulatory standards from agencies such as the FAA is typically required. Strong problem-solving, adaptability, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills in this emerging field. These competencies ensure the safe operation, maintenance, and advancement of cutting-edge eVTOL technology in a rapidly evolving industry.

What are the typical career growth opportunities for professionals working in the eVTOL industry?

The eVTOL industry is rapidly expanding, offering a range of career advancement paths for professionals including promotions to lead engineer or chief pilot roles, management positions in operations or safety, and opportunities to specialize in systems development or regulatory compliance. As the sector matures, those with hands-on experience in eVTOL technology often move into training, R&D, or program management positions. Collaboration between engineering, flight operations, and regulatory teams opens doors to cross-functional roles and leadership development. If you’re motivated to adapt and learn, the fast-paced nature of eVTOL creates ample opportunities to shape the future of urban air mobility and grow alongside the industry.

Medical, Retirement

Posted 19 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Own and support DO‑160 operational vibrations and shock qualification activity for Valo systems and equipment.

  • Manage, maintain, and develop vibroacoustic models to assess aircraft vibration and internal noise behaviour.

  • Analyse vibration data from ground testing and flight test activity.

Job description

What to Expect

As a Vibroacoustic engineer, you’ll play a key role in understanding how Valo behaves in real‑world vibration and acoustic environments. You’ll define and support DO‑160‑like operational vibration qualification, manage vibroacoustic models, and work closely with Flight Physics, test, certification, systems, and supplier teams to turn complex data into practical engineering decisions. This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys structural dynamics, vibration testing, and working with imperfect data to solve meaningful aircraft development challenges.

What You’ll Do
  • Own and support DO‑160 operational vibrations and shock qualification activity for Valo systems and equipment.
  • Manage, maintain, and develop vibroacoustic models to help assess aircraft vibration and internal noise behaviour.
  • Analyse vibration data from ground testing and flight test activity.
  • Support suppliers, test houses, and internal teams with vibration test planning, troubleshooting, and evidence review.
  • Use structural dynamics knowledge to optimise Valo's vibroacoustic response.
  • Help identify practical design or test solutions where data is incomplete, uncertain, or still developing.
  • Work closely with Flight Physics, certification, test, systems, and supplier teams to support safe, evidence‑led engineering decisions.
  • Contribute to the development and qualification of Valo through a mix of modelling, analysis, testing, and hands‑on problem solving.
What You’ll Bring
  • A strong foundation in structural dynamics and vibroacoustics.
  • Experience supporting vibration testing, qualification testing, or environmental test activity.
  • Ability to analyse vibration data, including accelerometer data from ground or flight testing.
  • Confidence working with suppliers, test houses, or external partners to resolve practical vibration test issues.
  • A pragmatic approach to engineering decisions where data may be incomplete, uncertain, or still maturing.
  • Experience in aerospace, rotorcraft, or eVTOL environments.
  • Exposure to producing or reviewing certification evidence for vibration, dynamics, or qualification testing.
Our Benefits
  • 26 days holiday, plus bank holiday
  • 5 extra days per year to buy (or sell)
  • 5 extra days holiday when you get married or enter a civil partnership
  • Additional 4% of your salary to spend on extra benefits
  • Award‑winning digital health and wellbeing service (Help@Hand)
  • Company performance based bonus – rewarding company and individual performance
  • Company Share Scheme – open to every Vertical employee
  • Company Pension Scheme – 5% and we match it
  • Breakfast on us, every day
