Job description

Your mission Join our Munich team as the technical throughline for our equipment portfolio, focusing primarily on space valves (cryogenic, high-pressure, solenoid, and motorized). You will own the requirement and qualification thread from customer briefing to flight hardware: Requirements-Based Engineering: Lead technical exchanges with launch vehicle and satellite customers to translate mission constraints into actionable equipment specifications. Cross-Functional Anchor: Work daily at the core of Design Engineering, Test Engineering, and QA to align technical baselines, resolve trade-offs, and maintain a tidy technical baseline. Own Product Assurance (PA) Documentation: Author and own the majority of development PA deliverables. including FMECA, hazard analyses, compliance matrices, verification control documents (VCDs), and qualification data packages. System & Component Performance Sizing: Establish operational boundaries and performance budgets across fluid, thermal, and mechanical domains (e.g., flow capacities, pressure drops, actuation dynamics, thermal margins) to provide solid engineering baselines for the design team. Drive Product V&V: Define the qualification logic, test procedures, and pass/fail criteria to ensure every customer requirement is rigorously validated. Hands-on Lab Verification: Support functional checkouts, pressure tests, and cryogenic qualification campaigns on the bench alongside test and assembly crews. Pragmatic Automation: Use Python and modern AI tools to streamline data processing, automate traceability, and cut repetitive engineering documentation. Your profile Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
