Electrical System Engineer (all genders)

Full-Time · Munich/Berlin, Hybrid
We are looking for a Power Electronics / Electrical Systems Engineer to develop, prototype, and test the core electrical architectures that bring our aircraft to life. This is a hands-on, systems-level role — bridging design, simulation, and real-world readiness at the forefront of aerospace and power innovation. 

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

YOUR MISSION/RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design and characterize advanced electrical architectures tailored for long-range cargo drone systems
-Specify and size key electrical protections to meet rigorous safety and certification standards
-Evaluate powertrain performance at both system and unit levels — across batteries, controllers, and propulsion components
-Simulate, test, and validate critical electrical systems: e-motors, HV batteries, motor controllers, and hydrogen fuel cell integrations
-Define and implement high-integrity test procedures using in-house equipment
-Prototype power electronics hardware, including Power Distribution Units and DC-DC Converters
-Collaborate with industrial and academic partners to accelerate technology validation and implementation

YOUR PROFILE

- Degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
-2–3 years of experience in multidisciplinary engineering (electrical, thermal, mechanical), ideally from concept to prototype to lab testing
-A background in electric vehicles, aerospace, or robotics is a strong advantage
-Proven track record in end-to-end system execution with rapid iteration and learning cycles
-A critical thinker who thrives on building smart, real-world systems
-Committed to speed, safety, and ethical engineering — no trade-offs where it matters most
-Strong communication skills and fluency in English (German or other languages are a plus)
If you're ready to power the systems that will shape the future of aviation, we’d love to hear from you! 🚀
