**Research Scientists (M/F/d) on Technologies and Systems**
**that enable Hydrogen Aircraft**
in the field of either Natural Sciences or Engineering

**Our challenges: -**
Hydrogen based aircraft require novel technologies from

fundamental levels as materials or electro-chemistry to

systems and their integration into the aircraft
- Bringing novel technologies together and making use of

synergies does require multiple disciplines and their

interdisciplinary effort
- In a joint effort, you will develop concepts for new energy

systems based on batteries and/or fuel cells. This will address

all relevant areas from energy storage and provisioning,

through thermal management to the final propulsive power on

aircraft level
- Assessing the potential of those novel concepts will also
include life-cycle aspects with evaluation of ecological and
techno-economic criteria as well as other performance
indicators
- Evaluating their impact on climate change and possible
mitigations options

systems engineering
- Ideally you have already gained an insight in life-cycle

assessment of novel technologies or systems
- You have excellent mathematical and analytical skills, good

programming skills in Python and are willing to familiarise

yourself with new topics and tools
- You are interested in target-oriented tasks, creative

challenges, out-of-the-box thinking and in interdisciplinary

team work

- You are proficient in German and English

**What to expect: -**
International team with a high qualification level
- Acknowledged research institution - with our feet on the

ground and our thoughts in the air
- Interdisciplinary cooperation of engineers, natural and social

scientists
- Modern working environment on the Ludwig Bölkow

Campus in Taufkirchen near Munich
- A team-oriented working culture
- Flat hierarchies and short communication paths
- Challenging tasks
