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 seeking a Test and Verification Electrical Design Engineer to be responsible for defining and delivering the test rig electrical architecture to ensure product quality and manufacturing effectiveness and to drive continuous improvement initiatives and the development of robust, scalable test solutions.
Key responsibilities will include:
Designing electrical architectures for test rigs, including electrical assemblies, instrumentation, communications (e.g. CAN), pneumatic equipment, and systems operating up to 1500V DC
Definition of electrical test rig requirements in line with approved Design Organisation data
Specify, support, and operate test rig control systems (e.g. dynamometers, vibration/shaker systems, EMC and HALT/HASS chambers) for testing electric motors, controllers, and electric drive systems
Ensuring test readiness through appropriate pre‑test assessments covering technical, operational, and safety considerations
Supporting Engineers in the creation of electrical test cases and procedures
Assembly, modification, installation, and soldering of wiring harnesses, looms, connectors, and other electrical assemblies for test instrumentation and commissioning
Leading laboratory electrical equipment maintenance and calibration
Identify and feed back opportunities to improve test rig design, capability, and robustness
Maintaining a strong focus on safety, ensuring compliance with approved safe systems of work and health & safety requirements
Development, review, and maintainence of laboratory procedures and technical documentation
Supporting cross‑functional delivery with software, controls, and hardware electronics teams to deliver integrated test solutions
Authoring technical and project documentation (RFQs, Scopes of Work, Statements of Work) for complex test systems
Managing CAPEX and track cost, quality, schedule, and requirements for test equipment, including commissioning and verification of new facilities.
Skills and experience required:
Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or equivalent knowledge and experience
Experience with electrical test systems and instrumentation, ideally within aerospace, automotive, or Tier 1 environments
Experience delivering test equipment using structured engineering and requirements management processes (e.g. Codebeamer)
Knowledge of dynamometers, test equipment, and control systems for electric motors and powertrain systems
Experience with EMC, vibration/shaker, and HALT/HASS testing of electrical motors, controllers, and drive systems
Working knowledge of high‑voltage electrical systems and applicable health & safety standards
Ability to innovate and develop new approaches to test control and instrumentation
Experience with MATLAB or NI tools for test data analysis, including custom scripting
Strong hands‑on capability in test setup, instrumentation, commissioning, and verification
Experience producing complex project documentation (e.g. Statements of Work)
Awareness of aerospace design and development processes
Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and troubleshooting skills
Good initiative, organisation, and ability to manage priorities under pressure
Strong collaboration and communication skills
Flexible approach, comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment
UK driving licence and willingness to travel.
Desirable:
Experience in testing of motors, MCUs or other powertrain systems.
