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 Senior Motor Controls Engineer to conceptualise and develop state-of-the-art algorithms and complex software logic for the Evolito motor controller products, focusing on certification under the guidelines of RTCA DO-178C, Design Assurance Level (DAL) A.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Lead the development of advanced motor control algorithms using model-based code generation workflows (Matlab, Simulink, Stateflow, Embedded Coder, etc), ensuring modularity, reusability, and traceability.
- Test, tune and optimise controllers for different drivetrain topologies to achieve desired performance metrics, including torque response, accuracy, bandwidth, efficiency, NVH, etc.
- Develop models of electrical (e-motors, power electronics, batteries, etc) and mechanical (gearboxes, propellers, clutches, etc) components to simulate control logic using 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 development for safety-critical control systems.
- Lead technical discussions with customers.
- Create and maintain detailed requirements, design documentation, and source code for safety-critical software systems, adhering to Design Assurance Level (DAL) A of RTCA DO-178C.
- Conduct rigorous peer reviews of models, algorithms, and other software artifacts to ensure compliance with safety and performance standards.
- Generate performance reports and technical presentations to communicate progress and findings.
- Work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to synchronize cross-functional development efforts and ensure project alignment.
- Actively support process improvement initiatives to enhance team productivity and product quality.
Qualifications, skills and experience required:
- Degree in electrical/mechanical/mechatronics engineering or similar.
- Proven multi-year experience developing motor control algorithms for high voltage traction applications.
- Excellent understanding of motor control theory, equivalent circuits, Field Oriented Control, Space Vector Modulation, PID controllers, through research and hands-on experience.
- Good understanding of inverter topologies, power electronics, electric motors, batteries and gearboxes and ability to model them in Matlab/Simulink/Simscape environment.
- Experience with HIL environments, such as SpeedGoat, dSpace, etc.
- Basic knowledge of embedded C language.
- Experience in the development of embedded software products to RTCA DO-178C (or DO-178B) DAL A or B (or ISO26262) is desirable.
- Experience in developing model-based software for code generation in safety-critical applications, using tools like Embedded Coder or similar is desirable.
- Instinctive problem-solving skills coupled with a sound analytical approach.
- Ability to work under pressure while managing conflicting demands against tight deadlines.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
