Desired profile

Tasks & accountabilities

The modification proposals would be assessed based on the quality of structural improvement, estimated cost (recurring and non-recurring) and estimated savings on maintenance of the aircrafts. Therefore, each modification concept would have to be studied and developed with these aspects in consideration. The final work has to be summarized in a presentation, highlighting the concepts with their key parameters and selling points.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.

·  Basic understanding of aircraft structures
·  Understating of crack initiation and propagation in metallic structures is a must
·  Knowledge of Finite Element Modeling would be helpful
·  English: fluent
·  German would be a plus

You are a good team player, have excellent communication skills, and are able to work independently.
