Our MissionAt Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The VX4, 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 of having the VX4 in service by 2030.What to ExpectAs a Senior BMS Algorithms Engineer, you will join a world class team comprised of leading aerospace and technology thinkers as well as some of the finest engineering talent. A typical day could involve designing sophisticated BMS algorithms for thermal runaway detection, working closely with the Vehicle Modelling team to implement SOC, SOH, and SOF algorithms, or hands-on testing and debugging of algorithms within our high-voltage battery systems.Your ability to work across multidisciplinary teams, manage complex deliverables, and provide technical leadership will be essential to your impact and success in this role.

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.
