Ingenieur/in Elektrotechnik, Maschinenbau, Energietechnik, Regulatory Technology (w/m/d) Reference number: 292 Place of work: Stuttgart Date of entry:01.03.2025 Career level: Professional Degree of employment: Full time, part-time duration of employment: 2 years Payment: Compensation is carried out in accordance with the applicable collective agreements of the public service (Bund). Get into the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to help shape the future with research and innovation! With the know-how and curiosity of our 11,000 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 great task of the future with us? Then your place is with us! The DLR Institute of Technical Thermodynamics is working with more than 150 employees in the field of efficient and resource-saving energy storage and energy converters.

The Energy System Integration Research Group examines fuel cell and battery systems for aerospace applications by means of simulation and experiments up to the technical standard. With our interdisciplinary research and development work, we increase the efficiency of the electrochemical converter systems for future aircraft and satellite generations. Current aircraft use conventional energy converters for propulsion based on fossil fuels. This has to change in the future as part of the development towards emission-free flying. A major challenge in the use of electric drives is the high scaling of fuel cell-based drive systems in the megawatt range and the increase in the power density and reliability of such high-performance systems. The DLR test environment BALIS, which is located on the innovation campus in Empfingen, represents a unique test infrastructure for the investigation of a complete drive system consisting of liquid hydrogen tank, fuel cell system, battery system and electric drive motor in the range of up to 1.5 MW. As part of your work, you plan and build test setups in the BALIS test environment. Your tasks You specify the requirements and tasks in the team and implement partially and fully automated test runs. You develop the security concepts together with the DLR security and the security officer. For connection to the location infrastructure, you are in exchange with the location operator and implement the concepts with the support of the DLR object management. You coordinate the procurement processes of components in close exchange with the DLR purchase and start the test stands after the setup. Your tasks also include ensuring the most smooth and secure plant operation, creating plant documentation and performing experiments. You organize and commission maintenance and safety checks and advise the scientific staff on the technical feasibility of new research projects.
