Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Control Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of professional experience in battery state estimation, control systems, or embedded algorithm development
  • Strong command of state estimation and control theory: Kalman filtering (EKF/UKF/dual-UKF/SKF), particle filters, observers, and system modeling, with an awareness of data-driven and ML methods and their certification constraints
  • Solid battery domain knowledge: lithium-ion electrochemistry, equivalent-circuit and thermal models, aging and degradation mechanisms (capacity fade, resistance growth, lithium plating), OCV hysteresis, and cell-bank-level state granularity
  • Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink and Python, with familiarity with C/C++, fixed-point implementation, Git, and CI/CD
  • Experience with real-time simulation, HiL testing, and embedded systems
  • Familiarity with aerospace functional safety and certification: DO-178C/ED-12C and the DAL concept, requirements-based verification and validation, MBSE and model-based design, and relevant battery and energy standards (ED-289, ED-309, DO-311A, SAE AIR6897); DO-160 environmental awareness is a plus
  • Analytical mindset, strong attention to detail, the ability to own deliverables end-to-end, and clear technical documentation skills
  • Be part of an ambitious team determined to shape the future of aviation.
  • We are an in-office company, but we value flexibility and trust employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work or adjusting hours to accommodate personal commitments.
  • Subsidized EGYM Wellpass membership: your (mental) health is important for us.
  • Enjoy a subsidized lunch with a 5€ company contribution per meal on office days.
  • Choose the option that suits your needs: either a free charging station for your electric car or a public transport job ticket as part of the Deutschlandticket.
  • Lease a high-quality bicycle or e-bike through our JobRad program and benefit from tax advantages. Whether for your daily commute or personal use, enjoy more mobility and sustainability.
  • Work in one of our offices in Munich or Delft. Enjoy the modern Balan Campus in Munich or work inside the aerospace ecosystem at TU Delft.
  • Boost your professional as well as personal growth executing your own ideas and independent projects.
