We at Volocopter are the pioneers of electric air taxis, i.e. aircraft that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We bring urban air mobility to life, by getting air taxis and drones off the gorund in a way that complements current transportation options in megacities across the globe. Our aim is to offer affordable on-demand air taxi services that fly people to their destination quickly and safely. In 2011 we performed the first-ever piloted flight of a purely electric multicopter and have since showcased numerous public flights with our full-scale VoloCity aircrafts (www.volocopter.com).

Your mission during this flight:

As Aircraft Integration Engineer with a good background in Human Factors, you will be in charge of the successful physical integration of aircraft systems. For this purpose, you coordinate systems integration, envelopes, and interfaces inline with aircraft requirements derived from early concepts until all following project phases.

You are a stakeholder of the (aircraft) digital twin. The digital twin assists with the early validation of requirements and integration procedures, optimizing the design with respect to weight, and maintainability (accessibility). Later in the product lifecycle, the digital twin is used for verification purposes too. You will be part of the aircraft team and work closely with design engineers, manufacturing, and quality. 

• You define system envelopes and interface concepts and transfer them into 2D and 3D models
• You detail and refine models in close coordination with system engineers e.g., design engineers
• You apply the change request process (including potential limitations)
• You assist in configuration management
• You perform trade-offs to optimize aircraft weight, maintainability, production time, and industrialization
• You assist with the integration of concepts and procedures and coordinate the implementation of systems

Check in your professional skills:

• Knowledge of SAE-ARP-4754A and SAE-ARP-4761A
• 5+ years professional experience in V&V of complex, high-reliability systems
• Good knowledge of all aircraft systems and aircraft flight physics
• Proficient with quality management and processes
• Experience with Human Factors.

Preferred skills:

• Self-starter with the ability to work both autonomously and as part of a team.
• Organizing ability as well as a high sense of liability and accountability, hands-on attitude.
• Excellent communication, and negotiation skills and comfortable interfacing with all levels of personnel
