High Voltage Systems Engineer (all genders)

Your mission

VÆRIDION is a pioneering electric aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) dedicated to revolutionizing regional air mobility and sustainable aviation. We are committed to designing and producing cutting-edge electric conventional take-off and landing (eCTOL) aircraft that provide safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
As an Electrical Systems Engineer - High Voltage (all genders), you will significantly contribute to the design, development, and certification of the aircraft's high voltage systems. You will work as part of a multi-functional team, reporting to the Senior Electrical Systems Engineer, and covering HV system integration, including battery systems, power electronics, HV EWIS, and associated sub-systems. Your daily tasks will include a variety of technical activities for the propulsion team.

Your Day-to-Day

• Proactively lead and execute technical tasks within the R&D department for the Microliner development and certification, from capturing technical requirements to demonstrating compliance.
• Contribute significantly to the definition, architecture, sizing, specification, development, and integration of the high voltage (HV) distribution system in the aircraft, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards.
• Develop physical and functional interfaces (ICDs) between the high voltage system and the aircraft structure and related systems and disciplines.
• Coordinate HV system safety analysis and conduct system engineering tasks.
• Planning, coordinating and performing HV system validation and verification activities as per aerospace standards such as ARP4754.
• Support the integration the high voltage system digital mock-up (DMU) with the aircraft 3D model.
• Create a MATLAB simulation of the high voltage systems, identify failure scenarios and optimize the design according to the aircraft design requirements.
• Select, interact with, and manage suppliers, taking responsibility for work packages related to the development, installation and integration of HV components such as fuses, switches, harnesses, and grounding systems.
• Coordinate and implement HV components, as per applicable safety, installation and certification requirements.
• Define and plan HV equipment qualification campaigns together with the R&D team, suppliers and other stakeholders.
• Support HV system hardware and software testing campaigns, from component test benches to full-scale prototypes, and aircraft ground and flight test campaigns.
• Ensure adherence to all engineering processes and standards and participate in design reviews to meet development and certification goals.
