Here at Volocopter, we are the pioneers of electric air taxis (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft - eVTOLs). We have pledged to bring sustainable urban air mobility to life by getting electric air taxis off the ground in a way that complements existing transportation options in megacities across the globe. In 2011 we carried out the first-ever crewed flight of a fully electric multicopter and have since conducted more than 2,000 public and private test flights across the world (www.volocopter.com).

The main mission of a Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer is to evaluate dispositions from a stress-perspective, to verify that strength-requirements are met. A Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer also performs stress analyses, prepares stress substantiation documents for engineering dispositions, and approves or rejects Non-Conformity Reports (NCR’s). A Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer serves a critical role in our organization: By minimizing the number of scrap parts and making it possible to re-use them, you will contribute to cost-reduction without compromising airworthiness and safety.

Your mission during this flight:

• Develop detailed sizing, static, dynamic, fatigue, damage tolerance, and modal analysis of repairs using classical hand calculations, reverse engineering methods and finite element analysis
• Collaborate with other Liaison / MRB Engineers, design teams, stress teams, airworthiness teams and other related groups in terms of product non-conformance management and repair development with a stress point of view
• Evaluate and check dispositions for Non-Conformity Reports (NCR) from stress point of view, check compliance of data to provide a proper stress substantiation to Liaison / MRB Team
• Assess load distribution, vibration, fatigue, thermal effects, and customer requirements
• Assure that repair activities meet and satisfy airworthiness requirements, quality specifications and customer needs in a cost-effective way
• Considering stress requirements and defect occurrences, support allowable defect size determination activities and process document updates
• Assist and attend the design activities during early design phases about repairability considering stress requirements when required
• Support repair manual activities for the company that indicates general process and guidelines of repair implementation and standard repair methods
• Maintain positive team relationships with both internal and external suppliers.
• Support onsite and offsite suppliers, when needed, in NCR dispositions.

Check in your professional skills:

• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace / Aeronautical Engineering
• Minimum 7+ years of professional experience as a Liaison / MRB Stress Engineer or Stress Engineer
• Experience in non-conformity management, discrepancy evaluation, stress analysis of metallic and composite parts and investigation
• Experience on repair design of metallic structures, composite structures on detailed part production level and assembly level
• Familiarity with a variety of high-performance composite manufacturing processes, process limitations, and post-processing of advanced composite components
• Knowledge on repair stress analysis (classical methods, hand calculations, FEM), structural design guidelines, composite lay-up operations, fasteners, loads, failure modes, materials, NDI methods, and corrosion prevention
• Working knowledge of Patran / Nastran, and/or Hyperworks.
• Experience in developing structural repair manuals
• Able to make quick evaluations as soon as possible to avoid delaying production
• Result-oriented with analytical and creative thinking, with great communication skills
