Electrical Design Engineer (Test & Verification) in Bicester

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.

• Design electrical architectures for test rigs, including electrical assemblies, instrumentation, communications (e.g. CAN), pneumatic equipment, and systems operating up to 1500VDC.
• Define 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.
• Ensure test readiness through appropriate pre‑test assessments covering technical, operational and safety considerations.
• Support engineers in the creation of electrical test cases and procedures.
• Assemble, modify, install and solder wiring harnesses, looms, connectors and other electrical assemblies for test instrumentation and commissioning.
• Lead laboratory electrical equipment maintenance and calibration.
• Identify and feed back opportunities to improve test rig design, capability and robustness.
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, ensuring compliance with approved safe systems of work and health & safety requirements.
• Develop, review and maintain laboratory procedures and technical documentation.
• Support cross‑functional delivery with software, controls and hardware electronics teams to deliver integrated test solutions.
• Author technical and project documentation (RFQs, Scopes of Work, Statements of Work) for complex test systems.
• Manage CAPEX and track cost, quality, schedule and requirements for test equipment, including commissioning and verification of new facilities.

• Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or equivalent knowledge and experience.
• Experience with electrical test systems and instrumentation, ideally within aerospace, automotive or Tier1 environments.
• Experience delivering test equipment using structured engineering and requirements management processes (e.g. Codebeamer).
• Knowledge of dynamometers, test equipment and control systems for electric motors and powertrain systems.
• Experience with EMC, vibration/shaker and HALT/HASS testing of electrical motors, controllers and drive systems.
• Working knowledge of high‑voltage electrical systems and applicable health & safety standards.
• Ability to innovate and develop new approaches to test control and instrumentation.
• Experience with MATLAB or NI tools for test data analysis, including custom scripting.
• Strong hands‑on capability in test set‑up, instrumentation, commissioning and verification.
• Experience producing complex project documentation (e.g. Statements of Work).
• Aware of aerospace design and development processes.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Good initiative, organisation and ability to manage priorities under pressure.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• Flexible approach, comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment.
• UK driving licence and willingness to travel.

• Experience in testing motors, MCUs or other powertrain systems.
