Senior Technical Specialist – Thermal Engineer

Evolito’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric propulsion in aerospace applications in support of a net‑zero world. We help revolutionise personal mobility and transform our towns and cities with clean, noise‑free air transportation. Evolito develops and manufactures class‑leading, lightweight, high‑power, high‑torque‑density electric propulsion systems for a range of aerospace markets, including EVTOL, unmanned aerial vehicles, and general aviation.

As part of our high‑growth phase, we are creating a Research and Technology (R&T) team and are looking for a Senior Technical Specialist – Thermal Engineer.
