“Jobs Galore in Rapidly Expanding eVTOL Industry”

A pri­ma­ry sign of a dynam­ic, vibrant, healthy and expand­ing indus­try are the num­ber of new jobs on offer. Ser­gio Cecut­ta part­ner of SMG Con­sult­ing and the cre­ator of the AAM Real­i­ty Index which evtolinsights.com reg­u­lar­ly cites, retweet­ed a post from its “HR Part­ner”, AAM HR Solu­tions yes­ter­day. This com­pa­ny mar­kets itself as the “pre­mier des­ti­na­tion for tal­ent acqui­si­tion and human resources in the rapid­ly evolv­ing field of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty.”

After car­ry­ing out a recent study on eVTOL employ­ment, the com­pa­ny tweet­ed, “Our recent study exam­ines the cur­rent employ­ment land­scape of the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty indus­try by analysing the num­ber of job open­ings at the top 10 OEMs. This analy­sis sheds light on the growth and oppor­tu­ni­ties amongst the OEMs, reflect­ing the dynam­ic nature of the AAM indus­try as a whole.”

There­fore, it is of no sur­prise that Joby Avi­a­tion (151 jobs avail­able) leads the way by some mar­gin. The U.S com­pa­ny is fol­lowed by Volo­copter (96), Beta Tech­nolo­gies (58), Archer (52) and Aut­oFlight (37). The one pity is that Chi­na-based EHang is N/A, giv­en it is the clos­est to full cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. Please see graph below.

So, as an exam­ple, let us take a look at Joby. Here is a link for its present jobs on offer:-

This employ­ment includes every­thing from Flight Research Devel­op­ment Engi­neer, Pow­er­train and Elec­tron­ics — Test Tech­ni­cian, Defense Asso­ciate, Fuel Cell Sys­tems Con­trol Engi­neer and Recruit­ing Oper­a­tions Man­ag­er to RF Sys­tems Engi­neer, CNC Pro­gram­mer, Gov­ern­ment Affairs Man­ag­er (Ener­gy), Mar­ket­ing Man­ag­er, Glob­al Sup­ply Ana­lyst and Elec­tron­ics Man­u­fac­tur­ing Intern. So right across the employ­ment forum.

For a young man or woman leav­ing high­er edu­ca­tion with just a mod­icum of inter­est in avi­a­tion, what a fan­tas­tic indus­try to join. Agreed some of the jobs are engi­neer-based which require a degree of train­ing, but if you can join as an intern or work your way up from the bot­tom, poten­tial­ly, you’re made for life. Cer­tain­ly, this is not a shrink­ing indus­try, in fact, quite the oppo­site.

While research fig­ures should be tak­en with a pinch of salt, the esteemed McK­in­sey Research Group released last month a report claim­ing that by 2030, the eVTOL mar­ket will have an esti­mat­ed 1,000 air­craft and 20,000 flights per day. It could also be gen­er­at­ing an esti­mat­ed annu­al rev­enue of USD3 bil­lion from 70,000 dai­ly pas­sen­gers.

This sug­gests that over the next sev­en years, tens of thou­sands of new jobs could become avail­able with­in the eVTOL indus­try, not for­get­ting the many oth­ers from the infra­struc­ture side like ver­ti­ports, con­vert­ed heli­ports etc..

At present, AAM HR Solu­tions has few fol­low­ers on social media. This may well soon change.

(The drone indus­try is not even includ­ed in this employ­ment out­look — an indus­try with even greater poten­tial and short-term growth)
