Summary and responsibilities

Role overview

Summary

The Flight Structures Test Engineer will plan, build, and execute component and structural tests to prove hardware readiness for flight. This role involves designing test setups, instrumenting test articles, processing and evaluating test data, and correlating results with structural analysis. The engineer will also contribute to building structural-test capabilities and safety procedures from the ground up.

We are looking for a Flight Structures Test Engineer to plan, build, and execute the component and structural tests that prove our hardware is ready to fly.

Test is where analysis meets reality. Your data will qualify our hardware, validate our models, and give the team the evidence needed to make the next design decision. You will work closely with structural analysis, mechanical design, manufacturing, and the workshop to develop reliable test setups and high-quality results.

Key responsibilities

  • Plan and execute structural and component tests, including proof, burst, and mechanical-load testing.

  • Design and build test setups, fixtures, and load-introduction systems with the design and workshop teams.

  • Instrument test articles with strain gauges, pressure sensors, displacement sensors, and other measurement systems.

  • Set up data acquisition, process and evaluate test data, and correlate results with structural analysis.

  • Write test plans, procedures, reports, and technical documentation that hold up to review.

  • Help build structural-test capability from the ground up, including safety procedures for pressurised testing.

What we are looking for

  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.

  • First hands-on experience in structural or component testing through industry, research, or a student engineering team.

  • Practical understanding of strain gauges, sensors, instrumentation, and data-acquisition systems.

  • A safety-conscious and structured approach, combined with a willingness to work hands-on with hardware and test equipment.

  • Fluent English and the ability to document technical work clearly.

Desirable experience

  • Hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure testing.

  • Python, MATLAB, or similar tools for test-data processing and evaluation.

  • Data-acquisition systems, test-bench automation, or test-facility development.

  • Working proficiency in German.
