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 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. What to ExpectAs a Principal Flight Dynamics Engineer, you''ll play a leading role in shaping how our aircraft behaves and performs in flight. You''ll work closely with fellow Flight Dynamics engineers as well as the wider Flight Physics, Flight Test, Flight Control, and Simulation teams to guide the modelling, analysis, and certification of Valo''s flight characteristics throughout the flight envelope. This is a highly collaborative role with real impact on safety, handling qualities, and certification success. What You''ll Do: Lead the development of flight dynamics models across the full flight envelope, from hover to cruise Analyse stability, control, and performance using both in-house and industry tools Support or lead the development of flight dynamics analysis toolsets such ..... full job details .....
