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.
