Senior Stress & Thermomechanical FEA Engineer - Propulsion Battery System (all genders)

Your Mission:

As Senior Stress & Thermomechanical FEA Engineer – Propulsion Battery System (all genders) you will join VÆRIDION’s Technology division within the Mechanical Design & Integration team and lead the structural, stress, and thermomechanical finite element analysis (FEA) of the propulsion battery system for VÆRIDION’s CS-23 all-electric aircraft.

You will own the computational modelling of battery packs, power distribution units (PDUs), and their internal hardware, predicting how every component behaves under nominal and emergency conditions – including thermal runaway, the DO-160 environmental qualification conditions applied to the pack and PDU as airborne equipment (temperature and altitude, temperature variation, humidity, operational shocks and crash safety, and vibration), flight loads, and durability over service life. Your analysis will provide engineering evidence that the propulsion battery system is structurally robust, thermally safe, and certifiable.

Within the Mechanical Design & Integration team, you will collaborate with Mechanical Design, Materials & Processes, Test, HV Electrical Systems, Airborne Electronics, Thermal Systems, Aircraft Structures, Certification, Safety, and Quality teams to define analysis methods, apply the material property allowable required for your analyses, and substantiate the qualification of the propulsion battery pack and PDU. You will be the structural and thermomechanical analysis authority for the propulsion battery system, responsible for checking and releasing design against the applicable stress and thermomechanical requirements.

Your work will directly contribute to the propulsion battery system that underpins VÆRIDION’s mission to bring electric flight to regional aviation.
