Working Student Aircraft Structural Simulations (m/f/d)

We are looking for a working student to support the preliminary development of our cargo drone. This is a hands-on role focusing on aircraft level structural simulations and concept design.  

At NEX Aero, we are building the next generation of heavy-duty cargo drones - designed for missions where reliability, resilience, and reach are everything. 

If you're ready to apply your skills in a fast-moving aviation environment, and want to be part of a team designing systems, we’d love to hear from you!

•  Perform structural FEM simulations using commercially available solvers  
• Support the design team with stress and stiffness assessment of various structures and components. 
• Evaluate design changes and perform optimization of the existing drone architectures 
• Document and communicate FEM results with the design team  
• Perform / support structural related testing  

• Currently undertaking a master’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering 
• Major in the field of structural mechanics,  lightweight structures / Computer Aided Engineering or similar 
• In depth knowledge and experience in numerical simulation methods   
• Basic understanding of aircraft structures  
• Experience with FEM software is a must (Altair suite, Ansys, Abaqus or similar) 
• Hands on attitude with an ability to work and deliver independently  
• Ability to summarize and present the work done
• Strong organizational skills are a plus 
• Experience in a relevant student project is a plus  
• Strong communication skills and fluency in English (German or other languages are a plus)
