Led team of 5 mechanical design engineers to create and release drawings of complete battery pack and sub-assemblies to enable flight test campaign.Decided on usability of produced components and assemblies with deviations and defects as primary engineering point of contact with approval signature rights.

Wessling, Bayern, Deutschland

Identified key design criteria for battery pack that influence battery pack architecture so that optimal design concept could be selected and later concept iterations were avoided. Designed battery stack and structural components of battery pack from scratch that have been proven to meet stringent EASA regulation on thermal runaway safety (MOC-3 SC-VTOL).

Wessling, Bayern, Deutschland

Developed preliminary design of mechanical support components for battery cells.Defined mechanical requirements and preliminary design data for battery cells. Defined mechanical test plan on battery cells.

Wessling, Bayern, Deutschland

Developed conceptual and preliminary design of lightweight battery module that can contain a thermal runaway event on module level. Developed detailed design of components and assembly with focus on composite hardware.Defined mechanical (e.g. vibration) and thermal runaway tests on battery module.

Weßling, Bavaria, Germany
