MTU Aero Engines is Germany's largest aero-engine builder, designing and manufacturing propulsion systems across commercial and military segments. The tech stack is dominantly SAP-centric (11+ SAP modules covering financials, supply chain, project management, and cloud), paired with engineering tools (CATIA, UG NX, Solidworks) and custom development (Java, C++, SQL). Active adoption of RPA and SAP Fiori signals a push toward process automation and modernized UX, while projects focus on supply-chain tooling, material data management, and manufacturing optimization — a mature organization optimizing margins rather than chasing growth.
MTU operates as a global engine manufacturer with ~10,000 employees and annual revenue of €3.9 billion. The company designs, develops, manufactures, and supports commercial aircraft engines (from business-jet to ultra-high-thrust platforms) and military engines, holding Germany's lead position in military aviation propulsion. MTU also manufactures major components and subsystems for joint ventures with General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce. Geographic footprint spans all major regions; active hiring occurs in Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand, and Brazil. The engineering workforce dominates the hiring mix, reflecting heavy R&D and manufacturing operations.
Dominated by SAP modules (S/4HANA, FI/CO, MM, SD, PS, PPM, Fiori, Cloud Platform, Basis), paired with engineering software (CATIA, Solidworks, UG NX) and development languages (Java, C++, SQL, R). Currently adopting RPA and SAP Fiori; migrating away from SAP Cloud Platform.
Primary initiatives include supply-chain tooling development, material database introduction, manufacturing process optimization, automation (RPA, parameter determination), and corporate-wide SAP standardization. Pain points center on asset compliance, simulation viability, and assembly/disposition optimization.
