Bruchsal, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland Volocopter GmbH Vollzeit

Company Overview

At Volocopter, we are at the forefront of electric air taxi innovation, focusing on electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs). Our commitment is to revolutionize urban air mobility by integrating electric air taxis into existing transportation systems in major cities worldwide. Since our pioneering crewed flight of a fully electric multicopter in 2011, we have successfully conducted over 2,000 test flights globally.

Role Overview

The primary responsibility of a Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer is to assess engineering dispositions from a stress analysis perspective, ensuring compliance with strength requirements. This role involves conducting stress evaluations, generating substantiation documents for engineering decisions, and managing Non-Conformity Reports (NCRs). As a Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer, you play a vital role in our operations by reducing scrap and enabling the reuse of components, thus contributing to cost efficiency while maintaining safety and airworthiness standards.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Execute detailed sizing, static, dynamic, fatigue, damage tolerance, and modal analyses of repairs utilizing classical calculations, reverse engineering techniques, and finite element analysis.
  • Collaborate with Liaison / MRB Engineers, design teams, stress teams, airworthiness teams, and other relevant departments regarding product non-conformance management and repair development from a stress perspective.
  • Review and validate dispositions for Non-Conformity Reports (NCR) from a stress standpoint, ensuring data compliance for proper substantiation to the Liaison / MRB Team.
  • Analyze load distribution, vibration, fatigue, thermal impacts, and customer specifications.
  • Ensure that repair processes meet airworthiness standards, quality requirements, and customer expectations in a cost-effective manner.
  • Support allowable defect size determination and process documentation updates, considering stress requirements and defect occurrences.
  • Assist in design activities during early phases, focusing on repairability and stress requirements when necessary.
  • Contribute to the development of repair manuals that outline general processes and guidelines for repair implementation and standard methods.
  • Foster positive relationships with both internal teams and external suppliers.
  • Provide support to onsite and offsite suppliers as needed in NCR evaluations.

Qualifications:

Essential Skills:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Aeronautical Engineering.
  • A minimum of 7 years of professional experience as a Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer or in a similar stress engineering role.
  • Proficient in non-conformity management, discrepancy assessment, and stress analysis of both metallic and composite components.
  • Experience in the repair design of metallic and composite structures at both detailed part and assembly levels.
  • Familiarity with high-performance composite manufacturing processes, limitations, and post-processing techniques.
  • Knowledge of repair stress analysis methods (classical techniques, hand calculations, FEM), structural design guidelines, composite lay-up operations, fasteners, loads, failure modes, materials, NDI methods, and corrosion prevention strategies.
  • Working knowledge of Patran / Nastran and/or Hyperworks software.
  • Experience in creating structural repair manuals.
  • Ability to perform quick evaluations to prevent production delays.
  • Results-oriented with strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills, complemented by excellent communication abilities.
