We are a team of 17 multicultural and passionate engineers who perform the gust calculations for overall aircraft design for all aircraft types. Our team is involved from a very early design stage until certification and also in-service support. We are responsible for  running build model activities such as finite element modeling, creating mass and aerodynamics models. We perform gust loads calculation, including failure cases, and  deliver to internal interfaces. On top, we are deeply involved in research and technology aspects with new aircraft configuration assessments, model based system engineering, automation and machine learning.

Your location

You will be working at the largest production site for civil aircraft situated in Hamburg. Its location on the southern banks of the river Elbe includes the option to commute by ferry.
