THE POSITION
As an Intern Component Design Engineer (m/f/d), you will gain hands-on experience by supporting the development of high-performance aircraft components across their lifecycle, from early concepts to detailed design and testing. You will work closely with experienced engineers to help translate system requirements into manufacturable designs and support prototype validation activities.
Your Responsibilities
* Owning component development from requirements definition and concept selection through detailed design and validation
* Translating system-level requirements into robust, manufacturable 3D and 2D designs suitable for aerospace applications
* Applying 0D/1D/3D simulation methods to assess performance, identify risks, and guide design decisions
* Performing prototype builds and component assembly
* Defining validation strategies and developing test setups and rigs to verify component functionality and performance
* Executing and evaluating test campaigns, driving design iterations based on test results
* Creating and maintaining high-quality engineering documentation to support design reviews and certification activities
YOUR PROFILE
* Studies in Engineering (Bachelor’s or Master’s) with a background in Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering
* Preferably first experience in engineering projects within a complex or fast-paced environment
* Strong motivation to learn, grow, and take ownership, combined with technical curiosity
* Solid engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply theory to real-world development
* Experience in one or more technical domains such as mechanical systems, thermal design, acoustics, or electric machines
* Familiarity with data acquisition, data analysis (e.g. LabView), CAD (e.g. CATIA), and simulation tools (FEA) is a plus
