About the role
As Hybrid Powertrain System Engineer, your mission is to drive the system design and integration of our hybrid powertrain for our next-generation aircraft. You bring deep expertise in conventional hybrid powertrain components - including combustion engines, gas turbines, and fuel systems - and translate program needs into a robust, certifiable system architecture.
You define, validate, and manage requirements on system and equipment level, and you negotiate and evaluate technical solutions within the engineering team and together with external suppliers. Beyond the design work, you take ownership of powertrain testing campaigns: you support the design, build-up, commissioning, and operation of the powertrain testbench, ensuring safe and efficient execution.
Working close to high-voltage and high-power hardware is part of the job - and thanks to your hands-on testing background, you enable reliable development progress from concept through verification.
What you will do
- Creating an airworthy system design for a hybrid powertrain
- Defining and validating requirements on system and equipment level
- Leading technical negotiations team-internally as well as with suppliers
- Coordinate closely with multi-disciplinary teams including propulsion, energy distribution
- Design test facility, test bench, and data acquisition systems for a hybrid aircraft powertrain
- Coordinate closely with multi-disciplinary teams including propulsion, energy distribution, and aircraft design
- Plan, conduct, and evaluate test series
