- hold a university degree in a technical discipline, preferably in mechanical or aerospace engineering,
- possess several years of practical experience in prototype and product development, alongside demonstrated leadership, team, and project management skills,
- have deep technical expertise in structural concepts, mechanical design, and structural mechanics calculations, including analysis, manufacturing, service, and verification of rotating machinery, especially in aircraft propulsion,
- show a strong foundation in qualification and certification of propulsion systems and components, with extensive experience in managing signature approvals for aviation authorities,
- ideally, have experience in designing electrical machines and understanding the synergy between electromagnetics, thermal design, and mechanics,
- demonstrate a high level of commitment to finding sustainable solutions, with a structured approach to work, a strong drive for implementation, and resilience,
