Job summary

eRC System GmbH is seeking an Electrical Systems Engineer to ensure the 28V low-voltage system of our hybrid-electric aircraft is fit for purpose and certifiable throughout the lifecycle.

You will work with propulsion, high-voltage, avionics, structures, and flight-test teams to define and mature system architecture, requirements, verification, and integration. This role offers ownership and a startup culture with flexible hours and remote work.

Qualifications

• Engineering degree or equivalent qualification in aerospace, electrical, systems, control, or related discipline.
• Proven systems engineering experience in complex technical products.
• Deep technical understanding of the 28V electrical system and its components.
• Professional working English for technical documentation and stakeholder communication.
• Experience in aviation or a regulated industry (Space, Automotive, Defense).
• Structured and analytical mindset across disciplines.
• Experience coordinating topics with suppliers or external partners.
• Self-management with autonomous, target-oriented work style and problem-solving.

Responsibilities

• Take responsibility for a complete, traceable requirements baseline aligned with aircraft, certification, safety, and program needs.
• Define, baselined, and maintain system architecture, interfaces, operating modes, and constraints.
• Communicate system-level assumptions, risks, and trade-offs.
• Ensure verification and validation cover allocated requirements and support milestones.
• Align suppliers and integration partners to same baseline, interfaces, and acceptance criteria.
• Manage system budgets: mass, power, and thermal constraints.
• Ensure readiness for reviews, integration, ground/flight tests, and service gates with data and residual risks.

Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Electrical Systems Engineer your mission is to ensure the low-voltage (28V) electrical system of our hybrid-electric aircraft is fit for its purpose and is integrated correctly into the aircraft, so that aircraft-level performance, safety, and certifiability are achieved across the lifecycle.

Working closely with specialists from propulsion, high-voltage electrical systems, avionics, structures, thermal management, testing, and flight-test teams, you contribute to the system-level definition and maturation of the low-voltage system. From requirements to verification, you drive the development of a safety-critical system at the heart of the aircraft.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Taking responsibility for a complete, consistent, and traceable requirements baseline aligned with aircraft, certification, safety, and program needs
• Ensuring that system architecture, interfaces, operating modes, and constraints are defined, baselined, and kept consistent with neighboring systems
• Communicating system-level assumptions, risks, and trade-offs
• Ensuring verification and validation evidence covers all allocated requirements and supports system, aircraft, and certification milestones
• Aligning suppliers, discipline teams, and integration partners in the sense that they work against the same technical baseline, interfaces, and acceptance criteria
• Taking care about the system’s technical budgets, like mass, power, and thermal constraints
• Taking responsibility for ensuring the system is ready for reviews, integration, ground or flight test, and service gates with agreed data, deviations, and residual risks

WHAT YOU BRING

• Engineering degree or equivalent qualification in aerospace, electrical, systems, control, or a related discipline
• Proven systems engineering experience in complex technical products
• Deep technical understanding of the low-voltage (28V) electrical system and its components
• Professional working English for technical documentation and stakeholder communication
• Experience in aviation or a comparably regulated industry, such as Space, Automotive, or Defense Industry
• Structured and analytical mindset, enjoying working on technical interfaces across disciplines
• Experience in coordinating technical topics with suppliers or external development partners
• 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

• Familiarity with ARP4754A/B, ARP4761, DO-178C, DO-254, ISO 26262, or comparable standards
• Experience with eVTOL, aerospace, electrified propulsion, high-voltage, avionics, flight control, or autonomous systems
• Experience with requirements managment tool, e.g. Polarion

WHAT WE OFFER

• Full-scale aerospace engineering, not concept slides
• A 60+ engineer team at Ottobrunn
• Real ownership and flat hierarchies: a modern startup culture where your input shapes decisions, not just execution
• Flexible working hours, remote work, and competitive compensation
• Health & wellbeing: EGYM Wellpass membership and subsidized lunch in our canteen
• Office extras: espresso coffee, fresh fruit, and soft drinks, plus regular team and company events, and plenty more once you're on board
