Note: A prerequisite for the setting at DLR is the safety checkability according to Safety review law (SÜG) and the readiness for a safety review according to § 8 et seq. SOUTH Get into the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) to help shape the future with research and innovation! With the know-how and curiosity of our around 12,000 employees from 100 nations as well as our unique infrastructure, we offer an exciting and inspiring working environment. Together we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to solving global challenges. Do you want to tackle this major task of the future with us? Then your place is with us! The DLR Institute of Testing and Simulation for Gas Turbines explores new engine technologies by coupling numerical and experimental methods to validate innovative solutions. The technical challenges are high speeds, high temperatures, high pressure conditions and associated complex load collectives of the engine components in conjunction with increased service life requirements.

The “Virtual Engine and Numerical Methods” department summarizes research activities into the “Virtual Engine” and numerical methods. In the Virtual Engine, the Institute (together with internal partners) coordinates and develops a competence and simulation platform for calculating engines, across all scales, dimensions, physical effects and interactions. With scaling CFD methods, a numerical test bench is developed methodically with which highly resolved complex currents in the engine can be calculated. With multi-scale methods on the structural mechanical side, numerical methods are developed with which the interactions between engine loads and the complex damages in components and materials in engines and the resulting service life can be calculated with high resolution. Your tasks General group management Development of multi-physical multi-scale simulations (methods, concepts and tools) with focus on lifetime assessments Support for students and interns

DLR stands for the diversity, appreciation and equality of all people. We promote independent work and the individual further development of our employees in the personal and professional environment. Our numerous continuing and continuing training opportunities are available to you. We are particularly concerned about equality of opportunity, so we want to increase the proportion of women in science and leadership in particular. We prefer applications of severely disabled people with professional suitability. .
