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. At Evolito we have developed a unique culture to drive high performance. We therefore look for Mechanical Designers who will be a good fit and join us and enthusiastically contribute both to our technical excellence and help promote culture of high performance. You will be trusted, enabled and supported to a high degree by your peers and leaders. We look for Design Engineers who are: Able to take a high degree of personal ownership and responsibility, are proactive Highly open, transparent, collaborative and generous with info and knowledge sharing Adaptable, flexible, and thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environment Driven to learn, keen on continuous improvement, and are innovative in mentality Friendly, supportive, trustful and respectful Enthusiastic and positive, embracing constructive challenges Clear communicators who can justify decisions with clear reasoning and evidence Key responsibilities will include: Ownership of design and development of parts and assemblies of our motor and controller products Developing design solutions through full product lifecycle from requirements, through concept schemes, preliminary design, detail design, support procurement, manufacture/production, test and verification and development activities Produce 3D cad models, 2D drawings, supporting calculations and analysis, material and production methods selection Supporting the development of manufacturing processes and novel designs for new technology applications and materials Liaising with suppliers on design and development solutions, resolving to the optimal solution Supporting DFMEAs and input other robust engineering management work where required to support robust, safe, high performance solutions Supporting new business opportunities with information, guidance and feasibility of packaging and applications of our motors and controllers Skills and experience required: Degree or equivalent in mechanical, electro-mechanical or equivalent engineering sciences Proven experience in a design and development environment, pragmatically applying knowledge to real-world challenges Confident in the use of engineering basic principles for initial conceptual design Able to collect illicit, develop and detail requirements from ambiguity Confident with cross-functional collaboration with internal stakeholders, suppliers and customers Understanding of design for manufacturing and series production processes Experienced in the use of CAD software packages (CatiaV5/V6, NX or SolidWorks) to generate best practice 3D models to create design concepts and production intent parts Ability to undertake and interpret mechanical CAE studies and propose solutions/improvements to design issues Experience with drawing control systems such as PLM systems or SolidWorks PDM Independent in GD&T to ISO 1101:2017, ASME Y14.5 – 2018 or similar Familiarity with FMEAs and robust engineering practices, and/or willingness to appreciate working within a structured and rigorous systems engineering product development process Creative problem-solving abilities with an analytical approach to implementation Strong communication skills A flexible approach to work.
