As Aircraft Technician / Fluggeräteelektroniker, you are responsible for supporting the hands-on build, integration and testing of our eVTOL prototype - bringing the aircraft from the CAD model to the flight test range.
Your primary focus lies on complex avionic installations, electrical integration and precise mechanical work, requiring a holistic understanding of the complete aircraft rather than simply following predefined instructions.
This is not a purely execution-focused role - you will be an active member of the Build & Test team, identifying issues, proposing practical solutions and ensuring that systems are installed, assembled and tested with the required level of quality, reliability and attention to detail.
Ideally, you bring an EASA Part-66 CAT B2 license, or a combined B1/B2 background, and are comfortable working across both electrical/avionic and mechanical tasks in a prototype environment.
Operating in an eVTOL startup environment, this role requires flexibility, ownership and a hands-on mindset. You will work closely with engineering, manufacturing and flight test teams to help turn our aircraft design into a functional and test-ready prototype.
-
Perform end-to-end assembly and integration of eVTOL prototypes, including avionics, flight controllers, high-voltage drivetrain components and mechanical structures
-
Fabricate, route and install aerospace-grade wire harnesses, sensors, connectors and related electrical components
-
Perform continuity checks, functional tests and troubleshooting of electrical and avionic systems
-
Execute precision mechanical assembly tasks, including the installation of actuators, landing gear components, cooling systems and structural parts
-
Handle and install carbon-fiber composite components such as CFRP structural parts with the required care and accuracy
-
Support flight test operations as part of the test crew, including pre-flight checks, electrical health monitoring, startup and shutdown support, and on-site troubleshooting
-
Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical and integration issues in close collaboration with engineering teams
-
Support rapid hardware iterations during fitting, integration and test activities, including practical on-the-spot solutions such as drilling, shimming, reworking or re-wiring
-
Carry out modifications and repairs on prototype aircraft to support build progress and flight test readiness
-
Maintain precise build logs, including documentation of mechanical modifications, electrical configurations and system changes
-
Support the preparation and execution of aircraft inspections, functional checks and test-readiness reviews
-
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to improve build quality, system reliability, maintainability and test efficiency
-
Completed apprenticeship as Fluggeräteelektroniker, Fluggerätmechaniker, mechatronics technician, or comparable technical qualification with significant aerospace experience
-
Ideally holding an EASA Part-66 CAT B2 license; candidates with a CAT B1 license and strong affinity for electrical and avionic systems are also highly welcome
-
Strong hands-on skills in wiring, crimping, connector assembly and troubleshooting in complex electrical environments
-
Experience with aerospace-standard wiring and crimping practices, including MIL-spec components, is a strong advantage
-
Solid mechanical skills, including the use of precision tools, torqueing procedures, basic metalwork and careful handling of aircraft components
-
Experience working with composite structures, especially CFRP/GFRP, is an advantage
-
Good understanding of aircraft systems, electrical integration and the interaction between mechanical, electrical and avionic components
-
Experience with high-voltage systems is desirable
-
Pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently in a prototype environment
-
Strong "maker" mentality and willingness to take ownership of varied hands-on tasks — from crimping connectors to torquing motor mounts
-
Ability to work accurately under time pressure while maintaining high quality and safety standards
-
Fluency in English, especially for technical documentation; German language skills are an advantage
-
Curiosity and motivation to continuously learn new skills, systems and technologies
-
Full-scale aerospace engineering, not concept slides
-
A 60+ engineer team at Ottobrunn
-
Real ownership and flat hierarchies: a modern startup culture where your input shapes decisions, not just execution
-
Flexible working hours, remote work, and competitive compensation
-
Health & wellbeing: EGYM Wellpass membership and subsidized lunch in our canteen
-
Office extras: espresso coffee, fresh fruit, and soft drinks, plus regular team and company events, and plenty more once you're on board
