Horizon Aircraft
Job description
A career at Horizon is for people who want hard problems and a clear purpose. We are building a hybrid-electric eVTOL aircraft, and we are taking our design from demonstrator to certified aircraft. Few engineers get to say they helped bring a new kind of aircraft into the world. Here, you will.
We are growing, and growth brings structure: clear processes, defined roles and room to specialise. We keep the hands-on approach and the pace of a small team. You will own real work, see your decisions take shape on the aircraft, and work beside the people who make them.
What we do here is hard. We support each other through the tough stretches, and we hold each other to a high standard. The work you do now will shape how people travel for decades. If you want your career to count for something, and to leave work behind you are proud of, you will fit here.
What we need you to bring.
Horizon is seeking an open, enthusiastic, experienced Process and Engineering Capabilities Analyst. Your role will be to architect, define, document and mature the Engineering, Manufacturing, Assembly and Quality processes of the organization. You will turn engineering intent and shop-floor know-how into controlled, auditable process specifications and work instructions, and build the capability records that show regulators and customers we can produce conforming aircraft every time.
Your Day- To-Day
As we’re a small team, there is significant scope for you to advance your career and learn about adjacent disciplines. We are looking for people that will have the following qualifications and experiences:
You will join a team of engineers who solve problems no one has solved before. Many of them work across disciplines, and all of them care about getting this aircraft certified and flying. The culture is open and honest. People say what they think, ask for help early, and back each other up. We work hard, we enjoy the work, and we put family first. Your life outside Horizon matters, and we plan the work with that in mind.
Our Benefits.
People are the heart of our success, and we like to provide transparency in the way we operate. This is why our benefits are beyond the normal, and we are constantly trying to improve these further.
If you have a passion for aerospace and eVTOL, and want to work on challenging and rewarding projects, please apply today!
Location.
We are located just outside of Lindsay, in the Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario, Canada. We also have offices in Ottawa and Montreal. Our team is onsite at our facility, as a group, a minimum of two days per week. This role is preferred to be in Ottawa, and we offer relocation allowances in appropriate cases.

We would love for you to apply even if you have not met all the experience listed in this advert. We understand everyone’s career is unique and we welcome opportunities to broaden our knowledge in an open, diverse and inclusive way.
