Part-time
Here at Volocopter, we are the pioneers of electric air taxis (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft - eVTOLs). We have pledged to bring sustainable urban air mobility to life by getting electric air taxis off the ground in a way that complements existing transportation options in megacities across the globe. In 2011 we carried out the first-ever crewed flight of a fully electric multicopter and have since conducted more than 2,000 public and private test flights across the world (www.volocopter.com).
Your crew during this flight:
You will be part of the Mechanical Engineering team based in Munich, working on the Next Generation aircrafts. The team consists of engineers and working students with different backgrounds (aerodynamics, mechanical design, stress analysis, EPUs/ESUs…) and it´s working close with other teams, like Flight Control, Electronics, Flight Testing, etc. This makes it a great place where to grow as an engineer, working side by side with professionals from different fields and experience a variety of tasks, while following the entire path from sketches to a flying prototype.
Your mission during this flight:
Within a highly motivated, multi-disciplinary core team you will work under the direct supervision of the Aircraft Architect and Energy Storage System Engineer supporting design of the next generation battery packs. You will be responsible for various thermal and electrical simulations related to both battery and aircraft development. You will iterate between the simulation and design providing critical information for the aircraft concept development. Furthermore, you will make hands-on experience by supporting the manufacturing and testing of the physical components.
