Technical Programme Manager

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 Technical Programme Manager to join the team. Reporting to our Chief Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, integrating and delivering the end-to-end engineering delivery plan for Evolito’s electric propulsion systems.

As the Technical Programme Manager, you will ensure that technical activities across the full product lifecycle, from requirements cascade through design, validation and verification, are planned, integrated and executed in alignment with programme milestones, regulatory expectations and customer commitments. Operating at the interface between engineering, programme management and the customer, you will ensure that technical delivery is coherent, prioritised, risk-managed and aligned to overall programme objectives.

Skills and experience required:

• Degree or equivalent experience in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical or Systems Engineering

• Demonstrated experience in technical programme or project management within a complex engineering environment

• Strong understanding of product development lifecycles, including requirements, design, verification and validation

• Experience integrating multi-disciplinary engineering teams to deliver complex systems

• Familiarity with aerospace development and certification frameworks (e.g. ARP4754, ARP4761) desirable

• Proven ability to manage technical risk, schedule and dependencies in a structured manner

• Ability to operate at system level, maintaining oversight without becoming embedded in detail

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with senior engineering leadership, programme management and external customers

• Highly organised, proactive and delivery-focused, with strong attention to detail

• Able to manage competing priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment

• Structured and disciplined approach to planning and execution

• Strong ownership and accountability mindset

• Collaborative and facilitative leadership style

• Confidence to challenge constructively and escalate where appropriate

• Ability to travel when required.
