SkyBridge has arrived in the USA - and we need you!
Are you an Senior Safety Engineer wanting to make the move into eVTOL, on one of the most advanced projects available in the market today?
Then let me introduce you to SkyBridge; haven't heard of us before? Good. We have been operating in secrecy since 2017 in the UK, in this time we have designed, manufactured and tested multiple prototypes, with the aim of finding the perfect eVTOL solution. Due to recent success we have opened an office in Texas to expand our operations into the United States.
We are currently searching for a Senior Safety Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will have the chance to Lead Safety Engineering for a vehicle which does not exist today, for a market which is yet to exist. You will have the chance to solve unprecedented challenges and help make the SkyBridge eVTOL aircraft the best product on the market.
You will play a pivotal role in analysing and optimising the aircraft architecture across multiple prototype vehicles. You will have the unique opportunity to engage in the full life cycle of design and development of multiple prototypes - from conceptualisation and prototyping through to certification - you will be at the forefront of shaping the future of our aerospace technology. On top of all of this, you will be sat right next door to where our aircraft is being manufactured, assembled and even tested - seeing everything come to life right before your very eyes.
Our project is incredibly unique and cutting-edge, and we need the best of the best to make it happen.
If you are motivated by having a tangible and significant impact across multiple technical topics, whilst working with some of the best minds in industry, look no further.
