A pioneering startup in advanced air mobility, founded in 2018, is leading the development of cutting-edge eVTOL (flying car) technology to transform With a diverse team from automotive, aerospace, consulting, and startup sectors, the company offers a fast-paced, hands-on environment where employees shape the future of urban and regional mobility. With a diverse team from automotive, aerospace, consulting, and startup sectors, the company offers a fast-paced, hands-on environment where employees shape the future of urban and regional mobility. Now expanding its business through market research, new business models, proof-of-concept testing, and strategic partnerships, this is a rare chance to join a team driving a once-in-a-century mobility revolution.
eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft) fly at a fixed altitude of about 300 meters, which carries a risk of lightning strikes, making lightning countermeasures a crucial element in development. As a Lightning Engineer, you will be involved in the development, design, and evaluation of lightning protection for aircraft and onboard equipment.
By collaborating with experts in a wide range of technical fields including flight control, battery management, power electronics, structure, aerodynamics, and certification, you will contribute to realizing innovative urban air mobility that will drive future transportation.
