Here at Volocopter, we are the pioneers of electric air taxis (electric
vertical takeoff and landing aircraft - eVTOLs). We have pledged to bring
urban air mobility to life by getting electric air taxis and other eVTOLs off
the ground in a way that complements existing 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 carried out the first-ever piloted flight of a fully electric multicopter
and have since conducted more than 1,500 public and private test flights
across the world (www. volocopter.com).
Your mission during this flight:
As Power Electronics Hardware Engineer, working on our various aircraft
projects, you will be responsible for developing the hardware used for the

test hardware that will literally take off in front of you. You will not just
sit at your desk, but also work fully hands-on with the actual aircraft in the
hangar.
You will simulate, design, implement and test the electronic hardware for
our next generation of aircrafts
You will debug and measure on prototype hardware
