Vertical Aerospace Tech Stack
Electric vertical take-off aircraft design and certification
Vertical Aerospace designs and manufactures the UK's first all-electric eVTOL aircraft. The tech stack—MATLAB, Simulink, CATIA, MSC Nastran, Ansys Fluent, STAR-CCM+, plus enterprise systems like IBM DOORS, Jama Connect, and Polarion—reflects aerospace-grade requirements for simulation, requirements management, and design traceability. The engineering-dominant hiring profile (42 of 55 roles) combined with active projects spanning flight dynamics, control laws, landing gear design, and certification suggests a company scaling from prototype toward production-level validation and regulatory approval.
