We at Volocopter are pioneers in the development of electrical air taxis that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We bring Urban Air Mobility to life, by establishing air taxis in addition to current transportation options in megacities globally. Our aim is to offer affordable on-demand air taxi services and save people time by flying them safely to their destination. In 2011 we performed the first-ever piloted flight of a purely electrical multicopter and have since showcased numerous public flights with our full-scale Volocopter (www.volocopter.com).

Your mission during this flight:

Within a highly motivated, multi-disciplinary core team, you will have a significant impact on the development and prototyping of Volocopter's next generation and its technologies. 
Working together with our Flight Control Team of Voloconnect (Volocopter’s next-generation long-range transitioning aircraft), you are a key member of the development team located in central Munich. 

We develop cutting-edge technology with a focus on implementation. We are laser-focused on making things work reliably and robust. We cut unnecessary complexity. We are pragmatic and we thrive for excellence. We support each other, and we trust each other. We hire the best; hence we respect each other's knowledge. We challenge each other so that we get better. We accept our failures, our shortcomings, our lack of knowledge so that we can learn and be better at what we are doing.

• Support and drive electronic HW development ranging from small adaptor boards to highly intelligent high-power motor drivers
• Get familiar with our legacy or third party HW, from the smallest mV ripple to the kA electronic switch
• Challenge old designs, create new ones, from whiteboard drawing to final Gerber export
• Debug, test, iterate in real-life applications
• Support in any test activities conducted by the team
• Rethink the current design and bring it from the drawing board to a flying Aircraft
• Support team members focused on other disciplines with your unique skills

Check in your professional skills:

• Hands-On attitude, passion for making stuff work/move/fly
• The idea of working on multiple different projects at the same time, while constantly interacting with mechanics and the software department does not scare you
• Master (preferred) or Bachelor's student in the field of Mechatronics, Electronic Engineering (However: experience and passion beats academic degrees)
• Good knowledge of STM32 microcontrollers and digital electronics in general
• Experience with (SMD) soldering is crucial
• A good dose of E-CAD (Ideally Altium Designer) is your daily finger-workout
• FPGA experience is a strong bonus
• You are likely the best match when your hobbies taught you more about your future job than your studies
