Description

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES The What: Better engineering decisions start with better analysis. We need an engineer who will advance our structural analysis capabilities by developing, validating, and improving analysis methods, building deeper understanding of structural behaviour, and making that knowledge available across our products and projects. The Why: You will support product development by applying established analysis methods while continuously improving and extending them. From developing robust FE models to interpreting complex structural behaviour, validating assumptions, and identifying opportunities for better methods, you go beyond simply producing results—you deepen our engineering understanding and turn it into capabilities that strengthen future products and projects. You ensure: Product development projects are supported with high-quality structural analyses while analysis methods, models, and tools are continuously developed,validated, and improved. Uncertainties, limitations, and knowledge gaps areidentifiedand communicated openly before they affect decisions. Commitments are delivered reliably despite ambiguity and changing priorities, witha high levelof ownership and initiative. Your Mission Develop and improve structural analysis methods: Build, validate, deploy, and continuously improve analysis methods, models, and tools that measurably enhance the quality, speed, and capability of structural analysis. High Performance – Relentless execution. Raise the bar on what our analysis can do. Own your work through ambiguity and changing priorities: Identify obstacles early, take initiative to resolve them, and reliably deliver on your commitments even when the path is unclear. You lead yourself—no external prompting needed to keep things moving. Accountability – Own your impact. Hold the bar. No excuses. Surface uncertainties before they become engineering risks: Proactively identify assumptions, limitations, uncertainties, and knowledge gaps in analysis methods, models, and structural understanding. Communicate them openly and help drive informed engineering decisions. Engineering confidence comes from knowing what you don't know—and saying so. Candor – Say the hard thing because you care. Truth drives better engineering. Build trust across the organization through strong collaboration: Seek and integrate perspectives from across the team, constructively shape technical direction, and align behind shared priorities once decisions are made. Analysis creates impact only when it is understood, trusted, and adopted by the people who rely on it. Togetherness – One team. Disagree, then commit. Move as one. Challenge established approaches and explore new methods: Go beyond the immediate task by exploring new analysis methods, technologies, and research topics. Generate validated learnings that strengthen future analysis capabilities, products, and engineering standards. Playfulness – Play with purpose. Curiosity and bold experiments keep us ahead. YOUR PROFILE What You Bring: Deep understanding of composite materialbehaviour, laminate mechanics, and failure mechanisms. Hands-on experience applying,validating, and ideally developing or improvingstructural analysis methods for composite structures. Strong engineering judgement with the ability to critically evaluate simulation results,identifymodel limitations, and derive actionable engineering conclusions. Solid understanding of structural mechanics and finite elementmodelling, including load transfer, nonlinearbehaviour, and structural response. A research mindset – naturally curious about why structures behave the way they do, and motivated to go deeper than the immediate problem requires. English fluency for day-to-daycollaborationand technical discussions. Nice to have: Experience with scripting, automation, or software development to improve structuralanalysisworkflows (e.g.Python, MATLAB). Experience correlating simulations with experimental test data and validating analysis methods. Experience withHyperWorksor comparable nonlinear FEA tools. German language skills. WHAT WE OFFER High technical ownership – shape engineering methods and standards, not just apply them. Visible impact: work at the frontier of composite structures and see your analysis influence real hardware decisions. Startup mindset meets aerospace innovation: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and room for your ideas. Your choice of benefit: Germany ticket,EgymWellpass, or a tax-free Give Card. Fresh shared lunches and a healthyteamculture. Stunning views of the Alps from ourTaufkirchenrooftop terrace. About us Blackwave GmbH is a dynamic and leading aerospace company. We specialize in pushing boundaries through the development and production of high-performance, off-the-shelf pressure vessels and complex carbon structures.
