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 expect?You will be part of the Digital Manufacturing Engineering team, responsible for the implementation, configuration, and optimisation of MES/MoM systems across Vertical’s manufacturing sites.This role is pivotal in enabling a connected production environment. You’ll define how data flows between machines, people, and systems ensuring process events, quality results, and production performance metrics are captured and analysed in real time.You will collaborate with Manufacturing, and PLM teams to ensure MES integrates seamlessly into the broader digital ecosystem, enabling a true digital twin of manufacturing operations.What you'll do<ul style=""><li>Configure, deploy, and optimise MES/MoM systems to support production planning, execution, and data management.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Define workflows, data capture rules, and event logic to support quality, traceability, and performance tracking.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Integrate shop floor equipment, sensors, and PLC data into the MES for real-time visibility.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Develop and maintain dashboards and analytics for production KPIs, OEE, and process performance.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Collaborate with PLM, DELMIA, and ERP system owners to ensure data integrity and interoperability.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Support user acceptance testing, training, and adoption activities across manufacturing teams.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Contribute to the MES roadmap for scaling across additional production lines and sites.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Continuously identify and deliver system enhancements that simplify workflows and improve decision-making.</li><li>MES systems deployed and used daily to monitor and manage all key production operations.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Real-time visibility of equipment status, production progress, and quality data.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Integration between MES and PLM ensuring full traceability from design to build.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>Improved decision-making through data analytics and automation.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>A culture of data-driven manufacturing across production teams.</li></ul>What you'll bring<ul style=""><li>3–5+ years of experience implementing or supporting Dassault MES/MoM in a complex engineering or industrial environment within aerospace, automotive, or battery sectors.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>You’ll have a solid technical foundation in manufacturing data integration, understanding how to connect machines, sensors, and human inputs through digital workflows.</li></ul><ul style=""><li>We are looking for someone who thrives on connecting technology and operations.

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.
