Avionics Systems Engineer (m/f/d)

Here at Volocopter, we are the pioneers of electric air taxis (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft - eVTOLs). We have pledged to bring sustainable urban air mobility to life by getting electric air taxis off the ground in a way that complements existing transportation options in megacities across the globe. In 2011 we carried out the first-ever crewed flight of a fully electric multicopter and have since conducted more than 2,000 public and private test flights across the world (www.volocopter.com).

As an Avionics Systems Engineer, you will be at the forefront of system development and certification, working alongside a talented team to ensure the reliability and safety of our avionics systems.
