About the role
As Electrical Systems Engineer your mission is to ensure the low-voltage (28V) electrical system of our hybrid-electric aircraft is fit for its purpose and is integrated correctly into the aircraft, so that aircraft-level performance, safety, and certifiability are achieved across the lifecycle.
Working closely with specialists from propulsion, high-voltage electrical systems, avionics, structures, thermal management, testing, and flight-test teams, you contribute to the system-level definition and maturation of the low-voltage system. From requirements to verification, you drive the development of a safety-critical system at the heart of the aircraft.

What you will do
- Taking responsibility for a complete, consistent, and traceable requirements baseline aligned with aircraft, certification, safety, and program needs
- Ensuring that system architecture, interfaces, operating modes, and constraints are defined, baselined, and kept consistent with neighboring systems
- Communicating system-level assumptions, risks, and trade-offs
- Ensuring verification and validation evidence covers all allocated requirements and supports system, aircraft, and certification milestones
- Aligning suppliers, discipline teams, and integration partners in the sense that they work against the same technical baseline, interfaces, and acceptance criteria
- Taking care of the system’s technical budgets, like mass, power, and thermal constraints
- Taking responsibility for ensuring the system is ready for reviews, integration, ground or flight test, and service gates with agreed data, deviations, and residual risks
what you bring
- Engineering degree or equivalent qualification in aerospace, electrical, systems, control, or a related discipline
- Proven systems engineering experience in complex technical products
- Deep technical understanding of the low-voltage (28V) electrical system and its components
- Professional working English for technical documentation and stakeholder communication
- Experience in aviation or a comparably regulated industry, such as Space, Automotive, or Defense Industry
- Structured and analytical mindset, enjoying working on technical interfaces across disciplines
- Experience in coordinating technical topics with suppliers or external development partners
- High level of self-management with the ability to work in a team, as well as an autonomous, target-oriented, and driven work style with analytic problem-solving skills
- Familiarity with ARP4754A/B, ARP4761, DO-178C, DO-254, ISO 26262, or comparable standards
- Experience with eVTOL, aerospace, electrified propulsion, high-voltage, avionics, flight control, or autonomous systems
- Experience with requirements managment tools, e.g. Polarion
What we offer
- Full-scale aerospace engineering, not concept slides
- A 60+ engineer team at Ottobrunn
- Real ownership and flat hierarchies: a modern startup culture where your input shapes decisions, not just execution
- Flexible working hours, remote work, and competitive compensation
- Health & wellbeing: EGYM Wellpass membership and subsidized lunch in our canteen
- Office extras: espresso coffee, fresh fruit, and soft drinks, plus regular team and company events, and plenty more once you're on board
