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 a Simulations Engineer Intern to work closely with project teams on magnetic design, modelling, optimisation and system thermal simulation activities for a range of applications and products.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Electromagnetic design using a range of analytical and simulation techniques
• Concept analysis and design trade off across a range of motor technologies
• Support with system power and thermal performance (Motor/Controller) simulation and impact on motor design and requirements
• Support with the optimisation of motor designs for a range of applications
• Identify and model the impact of manufacturing processes and limitations on motor performance
• Communicate with internal stakeholders across the business to ensure alignment on the design intent and process
• Assist in providing a robust design suitable for high volume manufacture
• Research new material and technologies for electric machines
• Development of internal software and drive improvements in accuracy and capability
• Support with the creation of data processing software and automation routines
• Follow relevant processes of Evolito Design Organisation and feedback on their refinement
• Using company-approved AI tools to improve learning and productivity
• Follow team’s software development process workflows
• Support CAE team and Motor Controls team on projects connected to motor and system thermal modelling during placement in these teams, duration and scope of which to be agreed with the manager.

Skills and experience required:

• An Engineering or Science degree (at least a 2:1 or equivalent) with some simulation and analytical background gained throughout university studies
• Demonstrated ability in electrical and/or thermal and/or software engineering gained throughout university studies
• Experience with a range of 3D FEA packages, such as Simulia, Ansys etc
• Some simulation experience in performance modelling of electrical/thermal systems
• Experience using a minimum 2 out of Matlab, Python and Simulink
• Working knowledge of LaTeX, Git and Microsoft Office packages
• Confident and able to articulate engineering problems in a succinct manner
• Ability to quickly pick up new tasks and learning and understand
• Ability to work under pressure while managing conflicting demands against tight deadlines, checking priorities with manager if in doubt
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A flexible approach to work
• Keen interest in engineering and willingness to learn
• Willing to support occasional travel.
