We thrive on diversity and creating an inclusive culture, with more than 50 nationalities currently working hard to bring our vision of a sustainable world to life.

The Role:

We are looking for an outstanding analysis engineer with a strong background in topology optimization, stress, fatigue, structural dynamics and crash and impact to support the Research & Technology Team pushing the boundaries with agile and fast iterating concept design and pre-development activities for the next generation Propulsion System.

In this position, you will have the exciting opportunity to work within the rapidly growing Structural Analysis Team. You will report to the Team Lead – Stress, through the function, working as part of the Structural Analysis Department. You will also be part of the Research and Technology Team for the Propulsion System.

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:

Being part of the R&T Team you will be leading:

  • Agile and fast iterating concept evaluation and design improvements based on topology optimization and structural analysis.
  • Optimization, pre-sizing, stress and crash and impact analysis of structural components and their interfaces related to the rotating, non-rotating components, and propulsion structures.
  • Create, manage, adjust, and validate detailed FE models of sub-components and complete propulsion system structures and their installations, with responsibility for the full workflow of numerical modelling, solving and post-processing.
  • Model correlation with static and dynamic test data to drive analysis-based concept decisions and design optimizations
  • Actively define and develop modelling methods, tools and optimization techniques to support an efficient product pre-/development
  • Hold responsibility for all structural analysis methods relevant to new technologies and their pre-development. Communicate the necessary updates with methods & tools team.

  • Excellent knowledge of topology optimization, stress, fatigue, structural dynamics, crash and impact analysis methods following established standards.
  • Extensive working experience with commercial implicit tools (knowledge of OptiStruct, Nastran and their corresponding pre/post-processors is of preference) is a must, and with explicit FE codes (i.e. LS-DYNA, Radioss) is beneficial.
  • Working experienced with CAD software (i.e NX, CATIA) is beneficial
  • Experienced with the agile concept and fast iterative pre-design phase of the R&T process
