YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
The What: At Blackwave GmbH, we develop high-performance Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) for aerospace and next-generation mobility applications—combining lightweight design with maximum structural safety.
The Why:Our COPVs enable safer, more efficient, and more sustainable systems. Every structural optimization directly contributes to technologies where performance and reliability truly matter.
- Perform structural and strength analyses for mechanical components and assemblies
- Support static, dynamic, and thermal calculations
- Create, execute, and evaluate FEA / CAE simulations
- Interpret simulation results and derive design optimization recommendations
- Contribute to the design, verification, and validation of structural components
- Collaborate closely with design, development, and testing teams
- Assist in defining and evaluating load cases, boundary conditions, and material properties
- Prepare technical documentation and analysis reports
- Actively contribute to engineering projects with a strong hands‑on mindset
YOUR PROFILE
- Entry level: No prior full-time professional experience required
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Materials Science, Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering (with strong technical focus) or a comparable technical field
- Relevant hands‑on experience gained through working student positions, internships, or comparable technical university projects (e.g. Formula Student, WARR) is mandatory
- Experience in finite element modeling and simulation of composite and metallic structures
- Solid understanding of structural mechanics fundamentals (e.g. strength, stiffness, load paths)
- Knowledge of composite and metallic material behavior
- Ability to interpret simulation results and apply sound engineering judgment
- Experience in technical documentation and clear engineering communication
- Experience with programming or automation for analysis (e.g. Python, scripting, parametric workflows) is beneficial
- Business fluent English skills (C-Level), German skills beneficial
