Electrical Engineering Manager

About the Company

Verde Go Aero is an aircraft propulsion technology company committed to powering the highest performance electric aircraft of all sizes. The Verde Go team is passionate about enabling hybrid‑electric powerplants to create a next generation of flying machines. This is not an incremental change but rather the 3rd major revolution of aircraft propulsion in the 120‑year history of powered flight, disrupting the industry in ways not seen since the advent of the jet engine 75 years ago.

Innovations in propulsion always lead to step changes in aircraft design.

Verde Go's hardware‑centric, pragmatic philosophy has already delivered flight‑ready systems for R&D flight test applications. Verde Go stands out as one of the few companies in this technology space with both product‑based customer revenue and strategic investment. Verde Go Aero’s headquarters is at the “World’s Most Famous Beach”, in warm and relaxed Daytona Beach, Florida. Daytona Beach is the home of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race, bike weeks, Jeep week and the collegial environment of the largest university focusing on aviation and aerospace, Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University.

The Electrical Engineering Manager is responsible for leading and managing a team of electrical and power systems engineers in the design, development, and integration of electrical systems for hybrid‑electric propulsion and advanced aerospace applications. This role combines technical expertise in electrical engineering with strong leadership skills to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

The Engineering Manager will oversee design activities, guide technical decision‑making, and foster collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, while driving innovation in electrical and power systems that support Verde Go’s hybrid‑electric aircraft platforms.

Beyond project oversight, the Electrical Engineering Manager ensures that electrical designs meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements. This includes guiding teams in areas such as power distribution, high‑voltage systems, motor/generator integration, inverter controls, and aircraft electrical interfaces. The manager will champion best practices in design processes, documentation, and certification compliance, while mentoring engineers and building technical capability within the team. By combining leadership with deep technical knowledge, the Engineering Manager plays a key role in advancing reliable, certifiable, and innovative electrical solutions for hybrid‑electric flight.
