Zusammenfassung

eRC System in Ottobrunn is seeking an experienced Masses, Loads and Vibration Engineer to bridge flight physics and structure teams. You will derive mass estimations, create design load envelopes and quantify vibrations for a hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft, shaping sizing and certification evidence.

Responsibilities include hands-on involvement in ground vibration tests, load testing and flight test verification, with close collaboration across hardware teams.

Qualifikationen

• Academic degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in loads analysis, structural dynamics, or mass properties in aerospace.
• Experience with loads and dynamics toolchains; Python preferred.
• Understanding of certification-related loads and vibration requirements.
• Able to work both in a team and autonomously; strong self-management.
• Fluent English.

Aufgaben

• Develop and maintain a mass model for all aircraft parts and equipment.
• Define, verify and document design load envelopes traceable to certification bases.
• Release critical load cases to a configuration-controlled database for the structure team.
• Quantify vibration sources and their propagation; design and test mitigation means.
• Analyze aeroelastic stability (flutter, whirl flutter, divergence) across the envelope.
• Maintain structural elastic models and provide to simulation/control teams.
• Plan, conduct and evaluate verification campaigns: ground tests and flight test points.

Jobbeschreibung

ABOUT THE ROLE

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.
• Fluent English rounds out your qualifications

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
