System Engineer, Electric Propulsion

Organization
ZeroAvia is a leader in zero-emission aviation, flying the world's largest hydrogen-electric aircraft since
September 2020. Its focus is the design and commercialization of hydrogen-powered aviation solutions to
address a variety of markets, initially targeting short-haul, sub-regional commercial flights up to 500 miles.
To date, ZeroAvia has secured the UK CAA and FAA experimental permit to fly for its 6-seat aircraft
powered by hydrogen-electric powertrain, passed significant flight tests, and is on track for commercial
deliveries by 2023. Its achievements to date were rewarded by the UK prime minister by inviting ZeroAvia
as a member to the UK Jet Zero Council.
ZeroAvia's powertrain development focuses on integrating hydrogen storage tanks, fuel cell systems, and
electric motors, delivering a solution that will be not only without carbon emissions but also cheaper to
operate. Commercializing the solution requires the establishment of a new clean aviation ecosystem,
encompassing hydrogen production from renewable energy sources and tackling public perception of
safety.
