Zusammenfassung

GoHiring GmbH in Ottobrunn seeks a Masses, Loads and Vibration Engineer to join our flight physics team. You will create mass estimations, derive critical load cases and quantify vibrations for an unmanned, hybrid-electric VTOL transition aircraft, shaping certification evidence.

You will work close to hardware, plan ground tests, and contribute to design load envelopes, state-of-the-art verification campaigns, and safe aircraft sizing.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering or comparable technical course.
• 5+ years in loads analysis, structural dynamics or mass properties.
• Experience with loads and dynamics toolchains, Python preferred.
• Understanding of certification loads and vibration requirements.
• Strong problem solving, communication and writing skills.

Aufgaben

• Develop and maintain mass models and weight/balance envelopes.
• Define and document design load envelopes (flight, ground, gusts, maneuvers).
• Release load cases to a configuration-controlled database for structural sizing.
• Quantify vibration sources and design mitigation methods.
• Analyze aeroelastic stability (flutter, whirl flutter) across envelopes.
• Maintain structural elastic models for simulation and control design.
• Plan and evaluate verification campaigns including ground and flight tests.

Jobbeschreibung

Masses, Loads and Vibration Engineer (all genders)

We are looking for an experienced Masses, Loadsand Vibration Engineer to join our young and growing flight physics team. In this role, you will act as the interface between the flight physics andstructure teams: you will provide the mass estimations, derive the critical load cases from all relevant flight conditions, and quantify and mitigate vibrations for an unmanned, hybrid-electric VTOL transition aircraft. You will be responsible for the mass model, the design load envelopes and the vibration environment from early design through test verification, and your results directly shape structural sizing, performance predictions and the certification evidence of our aircraft. Working close to the hardware is part of the job - ground vibration tests, load testing and flight test verification rely on your hands-on involvement from planning through evaluation.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Develop and maintain a mass modelfor all aircraft parts and equipment, including derivation of the weight & balance envelope
• Define, verify and document design load envelopes (flight, ground, gust, maneuvers, landing and payload),traceable to certification bases
• Release critical load cases to a configuration-controlled database that serves as input to the structure team
• Quantify vibration sources and their propagation through structural parts, and design and test mitigation means
• Analyze and demonstrate aeroelastic stability (flutter, whirl flutter, divergence) across the envelope
• Maintain structural elastic models(stiffness and modal representations) and provide them to simulation and control design
• Plan, conduct and evaluate verification campaigns: interface load testing, ground vibration tests and flight test points

WHAT YOU BRING

• You hold an academic degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical course of study
• Five or more years of professional experience in loads analysis, structural dynamics or mass properties in aerospace round out your background
• Working with loads and dynamics toolchains, preferably Python, is something you're comfortable with
• A sound understanding of loads and vibration requirements in a certification context is part of your expertise
• Target-oriented self-management comes naturally to you, along with the ability to work both within a team and autonomously.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and technical writing skills complete your profile.

The following would further strengthen your application:

• Rotorcraft or eVTOL experience, particularly with rotor-induced vibration, is a plus
• Hands-on involvement in ground vibration testing or flight test campaigns adds to your profile
• Experience with aeroelastic stability analysis, such as flutter or whirl flutter, is a valuable asset
• Familiarity with FE-based structural dynamics tools, such as Nastran, strengthens your application
• Mass properties management according to industry practice is an area you bring experience in

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
