FBW System Engineer - Pilot Controls

Your mission during this flight:

You are a Senior System engineer experienced in the development of complex systems and you are passionate about making a difference in eVTOL aviation. You have substantial experience in system architecture and requirements engineering and a profound knowledge of the verification and validation aspects in aviation, and in particular flight control system and pilot controls. Within a multi-disciplinary team, you will coordinate between the various teams and systems to ensure a successful certification of the pilot control input concept of the Volocopter aircraft. You will shape the future of how pilots control an eVTOL aircraft.

• You will support with requirements management at flight control level with a focus on pilot controls (including e.g. functional-, safety-, regulatory-, environmental-, human factors, and performance requirements)
• You will provide system-level expert for coordination and alignment with various internal departments, flight testing but also certification authorities
• You will support with the generation of tests (including safety), drawings, and design specifications
• You will coordinate and manage an external supplier

Requirements

Check in your professional skills:

• Engineering degree (MSc or higher), preferably in aerospace engineering
• At least 6 years of professional experience in systems engineering for complex systems (ideally aviation-related and in flight control system and pilot controls)
• Knowledge of aviation standards and guidelines (DO-160, DO-178, and DO-254 in line with the ARP4754A, ARP4761)
• Knowledge of certification processes (Part 21) and requirements under EASA (CS-23, CS-25, CS-27, CS-29, ideally SC-VTOL).
• Highly skilled and effective in technical writing and communicating with others
• You have worked in V-Cycle and agile/scrum environments and have an awareness of the methodologies and used tools (e.g. Jira, SAFe)
• Experience with systems engineering tools (e.g. DOORS, SysML, etc.)
• Ideally theoretical knowledge about flight testing, flight physics or electrical systems
• A structured way of working and a high sense of reliability and accountability
