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 looking for a Senior Materials Engineer to join the Materials team. In this role, you will manage and deliver materials characterisation programmes essential for airworthiness certification.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and deliver materials characterisation activities, including the determination of thermal and mechanical properties through in-house testing and by working with appropriate external test houses
  • Process and manage materials data for use in airworthiness certification programmes using Granta Materials Intelligence
  • Apply knowledge of composites, metals, polymers, and adhesives to improve Evolito’s understanding of these materials
  • Develop and define test procedures to assess the robustness of selected materials throughout their full product lifecycle
  • Support design and manufacturing teams in developing new and existing processes, including special processes
  • Advise on the selection and application of materials across Evolito’s product portfolio
  • Report, interpret, and present experimental results and analysis to technical stakeholders
  • Support production teams during new build activities, particularly when transferring new processes into production
  • Work with cross-functional teams on failure investigations to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
