Working Student Flight Mechanical Analysis (m/f/d)
(fixed-term contract, starting as soon as possible)

Realize your dream of doing exceptional things and join us on our mission to solve the time and cost dilemma in medical patient transportation. We at ERC are exclusively developing an eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off and Landing Aircraft) that transports patients three times faster than an ambulance and at one-third of the cost of a helicopter. We work hard to achieve this goal – with passion, a pioneering spirit, and strong partners, our first demonstrator successfully took off in 2023. "We are ready for take-off, are you ready to fly with us?"

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a passionate student to join our Modelling, Simulation and Analysis team. As a working student, you will primarily contribute to flight mechanical analysis tasks. Specifically, you will work with our model, support us in advancing our analysis code base, perform and document analyses. The tasks comprise of trimming and linearizing, investigating controllability and flying qualities and more. You will closely work with the Flight Operations and Flight Control teams contributing to the analysis of test data not only from simulator tests, but from actual real-life flight tests. Working in our team means learning something new every day, working with many different disciplines and teams and actively contributing to shaping tomorrow’s aviation.
