Working Student, Launch Vehicle Structures (m/f/d)

Mission Brief As a Working Student in the Loads & Dynamics team, you will be at the heart of launch vehicle development. Every structural component, subsystem, and design decision ultimately depends on one fundamental question: what environments and loads will the vehicle experience during flight?   Our team provides the engineering foundation that answers this question. By combining expertise in structural loads, dynamics, aerodynamics, thermal analysis, and fluid dynamics, we predict and characterize the complex physical environments encountered throughout all phases of flight.   You will work directly with experienced engineers on real development activities, flight data analysis, and engineering methods used to support current and future launch vehicle programs. This role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with aerospace engineering challenges while contributing to safe, reliable, and independent access to space.   Your Role in Our Space Mission :   Flight & Test Data Analysis   Support the verification and validation of loads and dynamics methodologies   Develop tools and scripts for efficient data processing and comparison   Compare analytical and numerical predictions against test and flight results   Identify opportunities to improve models, processes, and engineering methods   Post-Processing & Visualization   Develop and improve automated workflows for simulation and test data evaluation   Generate flow visualizations, section views, and engineering-relevant data extracts   Sensors & Instrumentation   Support sensor-related activities, including documentation and configuration management   Perform trade studies and evaluate instrumentation solutions for flight and test campaigns   Multidisciplinary Engineering Support   Contribute to a broad range of Loads & Dynamics activities across the vehicle development lifecycle   Gain exposure to structural loads, structural dynamics, aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, and thermal analysis     Qualification Checklist  Currently enrolled in a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree (e.g. Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, Physics or similar)    Interest in data analysis, simulation, and physical systems   Programming experience with Python or Matlab   Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset   Strong communication and organizational skills, with professional proficiency in English.   Located in or near Munich, as the role requires regular on-site presence   Bonus Skills Basic knowledge of structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, or aerospace engineering   Experience with CFD postprocessing tools such as ParaView, Tecplot, StarCCM+, Ansys   Experience with GitLab     Benefits Subsidised lunch: Stay energised with delicious, subsidised lunches every day Flexible mobility budget : Travel your way with a choice between a fully financed Deutschlandticket or a fuel allowance Sport Clubs membership: Stay fit with our sponsored sports club memberships (EGYM Wellpass) Free snacks and drinks: Indulge in a variety of free snacks and beverages to keep you fuelled throughout the day Physical and mental well-being: Access via OpenUp the online support from certified psychologists and lifestyle experts at no cost to you and your family And Much More!
