Job description

Your mission As a member of our experienced team in Munich/Germany, you will act as a "Full-Stack" Hardware Development Engineer dedicated to our rotating machinery and fluid transfer portfolio. You will be at the forefront of researching and developing novel technologies for various aerospace pump types (ePumps) and high-performance gas compressors designed for mission-critical applications. This role sits right at the intersection of advanced research and tangible hardware creation. In detail you will: Advance next‑generation pump and compressor solutions: Drive the full development cycle from blank-sheet research to detailed sizing, CAD, and structural analysis. Bring research to reality: Transition theoretical concepts rapidly into physical hardware. Take full ownership of your prototypes by performing hands-on integration, assembly, and rigorous testing on our test stands to validate performance in challenging aerospace environments. Innovate our workflow: Drive AI and automated design approaches (e.g. using Python/MATLAB) to streamline the sizing of the equipment, eliminating repetitive tasks so you can focus on true technical innovation. Ensure that even the most novel and performant designs are strictly balanced with Design-to-Cost (DtC) and manufacturability. Your profile Motivated, pragmatic, and self-organized personality. You prefer "done" over "perfect on paper." Eager to take responsibility and shape our products, services, and company culture. Familiarity with turbomachinery or positive-displacement machines (pumps and compressors) is highly desired.
