Our custom-built Electric Propulsion System consisting of state-of-the-art battery, power distribution and controlled electric motors are key to making Volocopter’s products extremely safe to fly. With your specific experience in the development of electrical system for aviation or in integrating electric propulsion components into mobility products, you contribute directly to the certification of this uniquely safe and simple flight experience. As an integral part of our Energy Storage Unit (ESU) component development team, you ensure that the proper system development processes are followed by the battery and power distribution teams.
Your mission during this flight:
As System Engineer you will work closely with colleagues in multiple disciplines to evaluate requirements, design descriptions, functions etc., at system and component level to meet aircraft level needs.
Collaborating with systems and aircraft level teams to ensure consistency and completeness across entire development team.
Handling internal system engineering process aligned with development lifecycle needs, including requirements management and program milestone deliverables.
Ensure successful completion of the V&V program of the battery.
Assist in creating the certification plan for battery systems.
Take ownership of component design description documents, interface
control documents.
Perform design reviews of the battery systems & interfaces.
Define test articles for sub-system, component, sub-component or part validation.
Provide technical review of the design to ensure the complete coverage of the requirements.
Specify and support the validation and verification activities of component requirements according to ARP-4754A
Support system level / component level milestones (e.g., PDR / CDR / TRR)
Provide support for formal audits and exchanges with EASA, as needed.
Check in your professional skills:
