If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are currently seeking a highly skilled and motivated ExperiencedSystems Engineer to join our team in Spain Madrid and contribute to the development of services for Urban Air Mobility (UAM).

As the world moves towards a more connected and efficient transportation system, UAM has emerged as a key solution. UAM aims to integrate future aircraft into the airspace, enabling safe and efficient transportation in urban, suburban, and rural environments. This paradigm shift requires the development of advanced technologies and innovative solutions to address the challenges of air space integration, digital flight rules, and air-ground synchronization.

The role of the Systems Engineer will be crucial in driving the development of these services. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and testing systems that enable safe and efficient operations of autonomous aircraft in urban environments. This will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, data scientists, and aviation experts, to develop cutting-edge solutions that meet the unique requirements of UAM.

The development of UAM services presents a myriad of challenges that require a deep understanding of complex systems and a strong problem-solving mindset. From ensuring the seamless integration of autonomous aircraft into existing air traffic management systems to developing digital flight rules that prioritize safety and efficiency, the Systems Engineer will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of transportation.

To tackle these challenges, we are seeking individuals who are not only technically proficient but also possess a passion for innovation and a desire to push the boundaries of what is possible. The successful candidate will have a strong background in systems engineering, with experience in developing complex systems and a deep understanding of aviation and air traffic management.

Position Responsibilities:
