Instrumentation Engineer - Propulsion

Your role and your team: 

You will report directly to the Engine & Actuator Systems Team Manager within the Design and Aerostructures Team. The Design and Aerostructures Team is one of the functions within the Lilium organization, its members being responsible for designing and developing among others the structure, landing gear, propulsion, and battery system of our aircraft across the entire life cycle - from concept through to detailed design, testing and into serial production.

As an Instrumentation Design Engineer – Propulsion you will be responsible for the design and application of instrumentation solutions on the Electrical propulsion system used for testing, verification and certification of our Lilium engines and will play a key role in bringing our innovative aircraft to life.

Your Day to Day:

• Review and agree measurement requirements from different disciplines (eg Thermals, & Stress).
• Support sensor selection activities
• Develop design solutions for the the installation and routing of a variety of Systems and instruments for the measurement of quantities encountered in an electrical propulsion system, including Telemetry, Tip Timing, pressure, dynamic, temperature, radiation, displacement, stress and strain.    
• Create 3D parts and assemblies in CAD (Siemens NX)
• Participate in systems engineering activities.
• Review fully dimensioned 2D technical drawings.
• Consult with engineers of other disciplines, for example Manufacturing Engineers regarding manufacturability of your designs.
• Provide input to Project Management, System Leads and Test Engineering Lead on project performance against established milestones.
• Author reports and document your work according to the relevant Lilium processes.
• Present your designs in Design Reviews
• Constantly learn new things – and share them with your team members.

Your Profile:

• University degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (M.Sc./M.Eng. preferred)
• Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in the aerospace and/or component testing is required. 
• Excellent understanding of general design principles and technical correlations is required.
• Experience in instrumenting rotating machinery is beneficial
