Evolito’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric propulsion in aerospace applications in support of a net-zero world. We will help to revolutionise personal mobility and transform our towns and cities with clean, noise-free air transportation.

Evolito develops and manufactures class-leading, lightweight, high-power, and high-torque-density electric propulsion systems for a range of aerospace markets, including EVTOL, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and General Aviation.

As well as ultra-high performance, low-weight electric motors and controllers, Evolito specialises in high integrity, bespoke battery systems for the aerospace and defence markets. The team is scaling rapidly and has ambitious growth plans over the next twelve to eighteen months.

As part of our current high-growth phase, we are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to be responsible for leading the design and implementation of Evolito’s electric motor range on key customer projects.

Key responsibilities will include: 

• Detailed design of 3D CAD models and drawings using best practice geometric tolerances, key characteristics and drawing standards

• Providing detailed input to the team to ensure the overall design meets requirements for functionality and manufacture 

• Working with the CAE team to analyse and optimise designs for stress, thermals, fluid flows etc. 

• Working with the Systems Team to generate powertrain configurations within a wide variety of aircraft 

• Supporting the development of manufacturing processes and novel designs for new technology applications and materials 

• Supporting DFMEAs and complete actions required to mitigate risks 

• Liaising with key suppliers and customers on design and development issues, resolving to the optimal solution and understanding the compromises
