Manufacturing Engineer - Mechanical

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 looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to join our Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering team to develop, improve, and support the operations, manufacturing processes and equipment to enable volume
production of our products to customers.ResponsibilitiesPlanning, specifying, and implementing manufacturing facilities and processes for axial flux motor and motor control unit assembly and testingLeading equipment specification, procurement, and commissioning activities, including Factory and Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT)Attending Design Reviews and providing insights into manufacturing feasibility of new product designsCreating and managing MBOMs, process flows, routings, work instructions, and other technical documentation using digital tools to ensure accuracy and accessibilitySupporting engineering trials, first builds, and line changes, working closely with production, quality, and planning teams to resolve constraints and ensure smooth transitionsCollaborating with Tooling Engineers and suppliers to ensure timely delivery and validation of production toolingActively participating in daily stand-ups, Material Review Boards, and other cross-functional meetings, providing regular
