Help shape the future of autonomous aviation
Apera is supporting an advanced aerospace company developing an autonomous, all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft designed to transform passenger travel.
The company is bringing together aircraft design, electric propulsion, autonomy and flight testing to create a new form of safe, sustainable air mobility. As its latest aircraft progresses through testing and towards certification, quality and structural integrity are critical.
They are now looking for a hands-on NDT Inspector to inspect composite aircraft components and ensure they meet demanding engineering, quality and safety requirements.
