A vacancy for an Air Mobility System Engineer (m/f/d) in the Urban Air Mobility team has arisen in Munich.

The position will be offered within the new Airbus Urban Mobility GmbH conditions and salary policy.

Our Purpose, Our Team and Our Ambition

Airbus Urban Mobility (AUM) aims at laying the foundation for more efficient and sustainable urban mobility. To co-create an entire new mobility dimension, and subsequently an industry, from scratch, we are developing cutting-edge technical solutions as well as engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to build the necessary ecosystem and to ensure maximum societal benefit.

In line with our purpose of pioneering sustainable aviation, we are developing the emerging eVTOL domain (electrical vertical take-off and landing) to open up the sky over cities and regions to offer a complementary urban mobility solution through the third dimension. This might still sound futuristic but the Vahana and CityAirbus eVTOL demonstrators have proven the technical readiness. At AUM we recognise that the full potential from urban air mobility solutions can be only achieved through engaging with a wide range of stakeholders while offering public value from the third dimension of urban mobility through responsible research and innovation.

Would you like to be at the heart of this next revolution in urban mobility and urban aviation? Are you ready to rethink how Urban Air Mobility (UAM) can fit in the urban landscape of today and enable the sustainable and livable cities and regions of tomorrow? Would you like to work with an amazing set of talented individuals from across the company with a genuine drive to make a difference?

If so, then join Airbus Urban Mobility asAir Mobility System Engineer (m/f/d) in Munich.
