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 Power Engineers to join the team to design, implement, test and document our controller power hardware.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Design, develop, debug and validate power electronics for use in inverter and converter products for aerospace applications
• Support and contribute to the inverter and converter power development
• Contribute to reviewing specifications
• Contribute to design reviews
• Supporting the safety case (ARP4754A/DO254) of the system
• Conduct simulation and evaluation of EMC, power and thermal models
• Undertake schematic capture, PCB layout design and manufacturing support
• Evaluate component lifetime, limits and derating
• Support power electronics design verification activities including fault analysis and in-production tests.
• Support EMC testing and the development of technical files
• Generate internal and external documentation including designs, analysis, simulation and reviews
• Contribute to developing the electronics / hardware departments technologies, capabilities, facilities, and processes.

Skills and experience required:

• Degree or equivalent in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, or a demonstratable level of relevant industrial experience
• Previous proven experience working in a relevant industry
• Demonstrated track record of engineering ability in a power electronics discipline
• Knowledge of power electronic devices (IGBTs, MOSFETs, wideband gap devices, capacitors, current sensors)
• Previous experience of electronic component selection and characterisation including power supply magnetics design.
• Previous experience of modelling, simulation and analysis of power devices for inverter systems. Knowledge of either one or more of the following simulation tools: LTSpice, Simetrix, Matlab/Simulink, PLECS and PSIM.
• Previous proven experience in power electronics design, including schematic layout, PCB layout, component selection. Prior experience in Altium Designer is desirable.
• Ability to perform design analysis, including worst-case, tolerance, thermal, and stress
• Experience in designing for EMC compliance in accordance with DO160 or MIL STDs.
• Experienced in Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacture (DFM)
• Experience developing products that comply with functional safety standards (such as ARP4754A/DO254 / ISO 26262)
• Experience working with high voltage / high current / high-energy systems, following safe systems of work.
• Experience in power electronics design validation and tests to verify equipment requirements. Knowledge of working with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, impedance analysers, power analysers etc. is essential.
• Ability to interface with customers and suppliers with the ability to present information, detail requirements and understand issues
• Ability to generate documentation to a high standard for internal and external customers
• Good communication skills (both written and verbal), good collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively across teams
• Instinctive problem-solving skills coupled with a sound analytical approach
• A 'self-starter' attitude with the ability to thrive in a small business environment.
• Ability to work under pressure and manage conflict, demands and deadlines.
• Flexible approach to work
• Results-orientated, and able to deliver business value
• Ability and willingness to travel.
