Your role and your team:

As an Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Systems Engineer within the Powertrain & Advanced Systems department, you will have ownership over the E3 design, analysis, testing and certification of aircraft systems. There are several Integrated Project Teams at Lilium, each with a need for E3 support. As a Systems Engineer you will be deployed to our Chief Engineering Department as a subject matter expert specializing in E3 to work on Aircraft level tasks and integration. Your placement and fit within these teams will be considered throughout the interviewing process after factoring technical fit, expertise and your personal preference. You will join an interdisciplinary integrated project team from a diverse range of skillsets, backgrounds and levels of experience responsible for the complete development of our innovative fully electric aircraft, through design, verification and certification up to the delivery phase.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in the Electromagnetic Environmental Effects protection design, including HIRF, Lightning, EMC, P-static to meet our aircraft requirements
• Ensure that all aircraft systems have relevant design and protection features for E3
• Collaborate with integrated project teams for E3 requirements flow down
• Guide and mentor development teams on protection implementation
• Participate in design reviews for EMC
• Plan, design test procedures and execute E3 system/function/aircraft tests to verify E3 requirements in accordance with aerospace standards, for example DO-160G, ARP5583, ARP5415.
• Develop procedures, processes and documentation for E3 engineering at Lilium
• Ensure that the relevant documents are created in support for the E3 certification of the aircraft.
• Participate in certification meetings with regulatory authorities
• Supervise EM simulation workpackages.

Role and Interview process:
