About the company
At Heart Aerospace, we are developing the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric commercial aircraft
capable of carrying 30 passengers, boasting an all-electric, zero-emission range of 125 mi and a
hybrid-electric range of 500 mi. Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the
decade.
Heart’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is focused on delivering the company’s next critical phase:
achieving first flight of our X1 full-scale demonstrator aircraft, advancing the X2 prototype program,
progressing strategic planning and fundraising efforts, and preparing the company for
industrialization and production. This is a period of high intensity, rapid decision-making, and strident
execution requiring tight coordination across engineering, operations, commercial, and corporate
functions.
Your Mission:

momentum during a dynamic period of company growth. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role suited
