After the first technical interview, we will align with you on the role's seniority and the system that you might be a good fit for. You will be able to choose from the following systems:

Flight Controls (FCS)
Actuation and Motor Controls (MCU)
Software Platforms (BSP)

Within 1 week from application, we will review your CV with a hiring team. In case of success, you will be invited for an interview or a technical case study.

About Your Future Team:

The history of the team goes back to summer 2017 when the first several engineers joined Lilium. These enthusiastic and world-class experts had a strong vision about changing the aerospace and software development process. After 6 years, the majority of the first visionaries still stand with Lilium, demonstrating exceptional performance and progress. As a part of the hiring process, you will meet these people, so feel free to ask them about their personal journey.
Our Software team has more than 20 nationalities among its 60+ members. The average aerospace experience is 10+ years. Every year, at least 10% of the team members either get a promotion or have the ability to perform horizontal moves to obtain new skills and expertise.
We praise collaboration. The time in aerospace when there was a strong separation between "System" and "Software" is gone. Systems of modern aircraft have become more complex and advanced. We manage complexity by pushing Model-Based Design to new levels and letting Systems and Software Engineers work on the same models in a collaborative environment.

Your Tasks and Day-to-Day:

Develop and implement cutting-edge embedded systems solutions for our eVTOL aircraft, including requirements, architecture, and application-level software using model-based and traditional design practices.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system and software requirements and ensure software is integrated with hardware components.
Optimize software performance for speed, memory usage, and power consumption, while adhering to strict safety and cyber-security standards.
Integrate controls software in hardware/software and system integration laboratories
Meet with certification authorities, support audits, and airworthiness cyber-security team.
Coordinate outsourcing packages and participate in supplier management activities.
Stay up to date with the latest developments in embedded software technology by participating in internal and external training programs.
Enjoy many after-work activities that Munich has to offer.

Your Profile:

7+ years of experience developing safety-critical embedded software in C.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Embedded Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
Proficiency with model-based design using MATLAB Simulink / UML Enterprise Architect in the aerospace domain.
Knowledge of safety-critical software development practices, such as DO-178C and DO-331 in civil aerospace.
- Expertise in Systems engineering according to ARP4754A or cyber-security according to DO-326 is a strong plus.
Familiarity with safety-critical microcontroller architectures, communication protocols, modern verification, and continuous integration concepts.
Understanding of systems/hardware/software co-design principles and experience working closely with safety, security, and quality teams within the aerospace environment.
Demonstrated experience and success in managing complex technical projects in the above-mentioned areas (FCS, MCU, BSP).
Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written.

This is an incredible opportunity to be at the forefront of a groundbreaking industry and work with a dynamic and innovative team. We offer competitive compensation packages, excellent benefits, and the chance to work with the latest tools and technologies in aerospace system engineering.
