We at Volocopter are pioneers in the development of electrical air taxis that
take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We are bringing urban air mobility to
life by introducing our air taxis and drones as an electric addition to
current transportation options in megacities worldwide. 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 crewed
flight of a purely electrical multicopter and have since showcased numerous
public flights with our full-scale Volocopters (www. volocopter.com).
Our custom-built Electric Propulsion System consisting of state-of-the-art
battery, power distribution and controlled electric motors are key to making
Volocopter's products extremely safe to fly. With your specific experience in
the development of electrical system for aviation or in integrating electric
propulsion components into mobility products, you contribute directly to the
certification of this uniquely safe and simple flight experience. As an
integral part of our Energy Storage Unit (ESU) component development team,
you ensure that the proper system development processes are followed by the
battery and power distribution teams.
Your mission during this flight:
As System Engineer you will work closely with colleagues in multiple
disciplines to evaluate requirements, design descriptions, functions etc.,
at system and component level to meet aircraft level needs.
Collaborating with systems and aircraft level teams to ensure consistency
and completeness across entire development team
Handling internal system engineering process aligned with development
lifecycle needs, including requirements management and program milestone
deliverables.
Ensure successful completion of the V&V program of the battery
Assist in creating the certification plan for battery systems
Take ownership of component design description documents, interface
control documents.
Perform design reviews of the battery systems & interfaces
Define test articles for sub-system, component, sub-component or part
validation.
Provide technical review of the design to ensure the complete coverage of
the requirements.
Specify and support the validation and verification activities of
component requirements according to ARP-4754A
Support system level / component level milestones (e.g., PDR / CDR /
TRR)
Provide support for formal audits and exchanges with EASA, as needed
Check in your professional skills:
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace
Engineering or equivalent.
