The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Structural Dynamics Analysis Engineer with expertise in aerospace applications to join our innovative team and help us shape the future of urban e-mobility.

In this position, you will have the exciting opportunity to work within the rapidly growing Structural Analysis Team as part of the Design and Aerostructures Function. You will report to Tools & Methods Team Lead, and you will interact with other teams within Structural Analysis as well as the Flight Mechanics, Loads, Aeroelastics and Mass Properties teams.

Lilium welcomes people from all over the world. We are a multinational company and happy to support our new top talents with relocation. We have helped our new hires to meet their Visa criteria and successfully settle in Munich.

Your Day to Day:

• Perform vibration analysis of aircraft structures to identify areas for design enhancements and structural improvements.
• Establish and maintain comprehensive guidelines on vibration analysis and develop procedures to guide design activities.
• Responsible for determining the dynamic evaluation methods to support certification activities at both component and aircraft levels.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define vibration zoning requirements.
• Actively take part in Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) activities from test plans preparation, definition of instrumentation to results evaluation.
• Validate Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models using test data, with a particular focus on Global Finite Element Model (GFEM).
• Assess and validate the structural integrity and dynamic characteristics of aircraft and aircraft components using test data to ensure compliance with industry standards.

Your profile:

• Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field is required.
• 5+ years of experience in structural dynamics analysis of aircraft structures.
• Proficiency in modal analysis, frequency response analysis, and random vibration analysis.
• Knowledge on structural optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with stress, fatigue and damage tolerance assessments especially for CFRP and metallic structures is a plus.
