Overview
Senior Drivetrain Modelling and Simulations Engineer at Evolito Ltd. Evolito’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric propulsion in aerospace applications in support of a net-zero world. Evolito develops and manufactures class-leading, lightweight, high-power, and high-torque-density electric propulsion systems for aerospace markets including EVTOL, unmanned aerial vehicles and general aviation. The team is scaling rapidly with ambitious growth plans over the next twelve to eighteen months.
We are looking for a Senior Drivetrain Modelling and Simulations Engineer to lead the development of sophisticated plant models of electrical (e-motors, power electronics, batteries, etc) and mechanical (gearboxes, propellers, clutches, etc) components as part of a Digital Twin approach to optimise electric drivetrain performance.
Responsibilities
* Lead the development of plant models for electrical (e-motors, power electronics, batteries, etc) and mechanical (gearboxes, propellers, clutches, etc) components in a model-based simulation environment (MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape).
* Optimise design parameters by simulating project requirements (flight cycles, dynamic performance, abnormal conditions, etc).
* Validate models by designing test methods and analysing test data to correlate statistically the simulation results.
* Support software verification activities by providing models and harnesses for 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 simulation, data analysis and automation.
* Generate simulation analysis reports and technical presentations to communicate progress and findings.
* Lead technical discussions with customers.
* Work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to synchronise cross-functional development efforts and ensure project alignment.
* Maintain simulation models and results using Evolito’s configuration management process.
* Actively support process improvement initiatives to enhance team productivity and product quality.
Skills and experience
* Degree in electrical/mechanical/mechatronics engineering or similar.
* Proven experience solving complex technical problems using simulation modelling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape.
* Excellent understanding of electric drivetrain components (PMSMs, gearboxes, inverters, batteries) and ability to model them.
* Good understanding of control and optimisation theories (PID controllers, data fitting, optimisation algorithms).
* Experience with data analysis and correlation using MATLAB or Python scripts.
* Experience with HIL environments (dSpace, SpeedGoat, etc) is desirable.
* Awareness of the engineering design process (preferably within an aerospace environment).
* Problem-solving skills with a sound analytical approach.
* Ability to work under pressure while managing conflicting demands against tight deadlines.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
