Senior Infrastructure Architect
About The Position
The senior architect will play a key role in developing vertiport infrastructure as a product that scales globally. You will rethink how vertiport terminals and electrified skydecks are designed and built, with a focus on design for constructability that allows for rapid on-site assembly without high skilled labor or heavy lifting equipment. You will spearhead our passenger processing terminal design and work with our structural, mechanical, electrical and fire protection engineers to develop integrated systems to streamline deck electrification for aircraft charging, lighting, data, snow melt, and fire protection systems for elevated, floating and surface landing decks. You will drive innovation through prototype design, build and testing iteration to continually work towards optimized vertiport launch solutions.
