Evolito’s Mission
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.
About Evolito
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.
Role Overview
As part of our current high-growth phase, we are creating our Research and Technology (R&T) team and are looking for a Principal Technical Specialist - Simulation to join us.
The R&T team is responsible for the development of new systems, electric machines, and power control electronics in support of new and existing customers. This includes electric propulsion systems, electrical generation systems, and power management systems for all-electric and hybrid-electric aircraft.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development of plant models for electrical (e-motors, power electronics, batteries, etc) and mechanical (gearboxes, propellers, clutches, etc) components in a model-based simulation environment (MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape)
- Optimise design parameters by simulating (dynamically and statically) project requirements (flight cycles, dynamic performance, abnormal conditions, etc)
- Validate models by designing test methods and analysing test data to correlate the simulation results statistically
- Support software verification activities by providing models and harnesses for Model-in-the-loop (MIL) and Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and contribute to the definition of best practices in model-based simulation, data analysis, and automation
- Generate simulation analysis reports and technical presentations to communicate progress and findings
- Lead technical discussions with customers
- Work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to synchronise cross-functional development efforts and ensure project alignment
- Maintain simulation models and results using the Evolito configuration management process
- Actively support process improvement initiatives to enhance team productivity and product quality.
