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: 

As the Structural Desing Engineer, your mission is to ensure the mechanical design of the ESU subcomponents comply with the requirements and pass the certification process. You will provide technical expertise to ensure the company goals for successful design of the Energy Storage Unit are achieved.

• Identify and manage the relevant requirements of the ESU subcomponents
• Develop their mechanical design through the whole lifecycle from early architecture through production
• Work closely with the internal and external teams to develop the mechanical design and build of hardware
• Working hands on to generate the related design documentation
• Manage the generated design data within Teamcenter Engineering
• Working close with other engineering disciplines to get to design decisions
• Provide the relevant documentation trough the engineering gates (PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.)
• Ensure build in quality to our design, generate design assessments if needed and participate root cause assessments 

Check in your professional skills:

• Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering degree (MSc.)
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience as a mechanical design engineer designing, performing initial structural analysis and validations of composite and metallic structures
• Demonstrate track record of working with light-weight composite/ sheet metal design projects
• A structured way of working, able to get to decisions and a high sense of responsibility
• Familiarity with a variety of high-performance composite manufacturing processes, process limitations, and post-processing of advanced composite components
• Familiarity with a variety of high-performance metal design manufacturing processes
• Certain knowledge of thermal and vibration effects in structures
• Proficiency in working with CAD Software, ideally Siemens NX
• Experience with PLM Software, ideally Siemens Teamcenter
• Experience with prototyping and testing 

Preferred skills: 

• Hand-on, creative and solution-oriented way of working in cross-functional teams
• Good understanding of HV battery systems and their electro-thermo-mechanical behavior
• Experience in working with aerospace standards as CS23/CS27/SC-VTOL/DO-160G/DO-311A
• Experience with FEM simulation tools
• Understanding of business agility and ability to work within scaling frameworks (e.g. SAFe)
