Design and Development Engineer; Placement

Design and Development Industrial Placement Programme

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, UAV 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.

We are looking for highly motivated university students with a clear passion for engineering and technology, keen to gain skills and knowledge in a fast‑paced environment. Students will join the team for a 12‑month industrial placement to gain real‑world, hands‑on experience within Evolito.
