As (Junior) Electrical Propulsion System Engineer, your mission is to support the development, integration, and verification of our aircraft propulsion system from concept to flight. You contribute to ensure that the propulsion architecture, functions, interfaces, and requirements are translated into a robust, safe, and certifiable system solution.

Working closely with specialists from within and beyond the powertrain team, you contribute to the system-level definition and maturation of the electric propulsion system. In addition, you support the coordination of technical activities with suppliers, helping to ensure that externally developed components and systems are aligned with program needs, interfaces, and certification expectations.

• Support the development of the propulsion system architecture, functions, and interfaces on aircraft, system, and subsystem level.
• Support interface definition and coordination between propulsion and adjacent systems such as electrical, structural, thermal, control, and avionics.
• Contribute to the preparation and maintenance of system documentation, including requirements sets, interface descriptions, and system engineering artefacts.
• Support the planning and execution of integration, verification, and validation activities for propulsion-related topics.
• Perform equipment-level tests using HIL, as well as system-level tests using a high-voltage test bench
• Analyze technical issues, support root-cause investigations, and help drive issues to resolution across disciplinary boundaries.
• Support supplier management activities from an engineering perspective to ensure technical consistency, maturity, and timely progress of externally sourced propulsion components or subsystems.

• Hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Aerospace, Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Have first experience (e.g. internships, student projects, or professional exposure) in the area of your responsibilities described above.
• Have technical knowledge about Electric Motors and Drives, in particular PMSM motors.
• Have knowledge on lab equipment, testing, and tools
• Have knowledge on embedded programming
• Have knowledge on MATLAB/Simulink and version control software like Git
• Have strong motivation to work on complex aircraft systems and help bring them to flight readiness.
• Have a high level of self-management with the ability to work in a team, as well as an autonomous, target-oriented, and driven work style with analytic problem-solving skills.

Moreover, it would be helpful if you also

• Have first hands-on experience with electric propulsion systems, hybrid-electric systems, powertrain integration, or related aerospace systems.
• Bring familiarity with systems engineering methods
• Have experience with requirements management tools (Jira, Polarion) or engineering data tools.
• Bring basic knowledge of EASA/FAA regulations and guidance material and industry standards.
