Graduate CAE Engineer

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 Graduate CAE Engineer to support the Engineering Analysis Team by carrying out hand calculations and engineering analysis (mechanical and thermal) to provide the design evaluation of our products.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Undertake Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural and thermal analyses on electric propulsion unit (EPU) assemblies and sub-assemblies using methodologies developed by Evolito
• Support senior team members in the thermal characterisation of the Evolito product by way of FEA, ensuring thermal management is achieved under all flight conditions
• Support senior team members in the structural analysis of the Evolito product by way of FEA
• Support the validation of Engineering Analysis, liaising with the Test & Verification team, under the guidance of senior team members
• Help develop rigorous analysis techniques that correlate closely with test results
• Apply engineering knowledge and use FEA optimisation tools to derive solutions based on thermal performance, strength, weight reduction and manufacturability
• Author well written reports that document the analysis carried out, leading to sound conclusions including the use of supporting evidence e.g. test work
  
  

Skills and experience required:

• Degree or equivalent related to Thermal or Mechanical Engineering
• Able to apply engineering knowledge to real-world situations
• Creative problem solver, with an analytical approach to implementation
• Familiarity with Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Self-sufficient and able to work with minimal managerial input
• Flexible approach to work, desire to thrive in a dynamic and exciting fast-moving environment
• Strong communication skills (both written and verbal), good collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively across different disciplines
• Self-motivated with the determination to succeed
• Willingness to travel as required
  
  

Desirable:

• Experience with structural analysis
• Experience with thermal analysis and heat management
• Experience with CFD and FEA programs e.g. ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Mechanical
