Your role and your team:  

This position will report to our EWIS manager and will actively contribute to the EWIS development. The Principal Design Engineer - EWIS is part of an interdisciplinary integrated project team responsible for the complete development of EWIS from architecture definition, through design, verification and certification up to the delivery of the Lilium aircraft. 

We are looking to reinforce our EWIS team with a principal level professional, able to lead all EWIS design aspects related to harnesses, assemblies, and parts in 2D and 3D including schematics, wiring diagrams and drawings. This role also drives transversal activities such as quality management and supplier management. You will take responsibility for the development of subsystems and components and ensure their compliance to certification and safety standards. 

From mechanical or composite parts design to harness routing and optimization of the routing architecture you will play a key role in bringing our innovative aircraft to life. 

 Your Day to Day: 

• Create complex harnesses, assemblies and their routing throughout their lifecycle in CAD (Siemens NX) 
• Design and optimise 3D aerospace parts in CAD (Siemens NX) 
• Derive electrical system schematics, wiring diagrams and 2D drawings appropriate for production and certification 
• Collaborate with engineers of other disciplines, for example Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering 
• Prepare and continuously improve processes, guidelines and tools for EWIS design.
