Industrial Systems Engineer

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 an Industrial Systems Engineer to be responsible for contributing to Evolito's industrial strategy by defining and deploying the latest technologies and processes.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Develop and implement industrial system ways of working (process, methods and tools) to contribute to the development of an end-to-end digital design to manufacturing system approach

• Drive towards the best practice of connected industry 4.0 solutions linking to our Siemens MES

• Work with Industrial Engineers on discrete event simulations to analyse production rates across processes, assess material flow, identify buffer requirements, and optimize overall factory throughput

• Collect and define lean line design guidelines and best practices to be applied on existing and new industrial systems, ensure seamless connectivity of machines to enable process control and traceability

• Increase the knowledge and autonomy of manufacturing communities by supporting the implementation of the industrial system design way of working and best practices in manufacturing areas including the engineering community

• Work closely with internal ME, Planning, Engineering and IT teams on overall system architecture development and process improvement

• Evaluate current and future industrial solutions, give recommendations and drive CAPEX proposals

• Educate, coach and lead multi-functional teams on key industrialisation topics and processes

• Own and develop the industrial system design processes on the Evolito BMS.

Skills and experience required:

• Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering or equivalent qualifications and experience

• Ability to demonstrate operational experience in the implementation and optimisation of industrial systems (design phase, implementation, management of production processes)

• Strong experience in project management, including multifunctional/multicultural teams

• Strong knowledge of industrialisation principles

• Strong knowledge and understanding of manufacturing processes

• Knowledge of production management

• Experience/ knowledge in lean manufacturing principles (VSM, etc.) and variance analysis (6 Sigma)

• Experience in discrete event simulation modeling (e.g. plant simulation, AnyLogic or any other similar DES tool)

• Scientific programming skills - broad knowledge is valued over specific tool expertise (SimTalk, Java, or Python is advantageous)

• Ability to support and plan for future opportunities/volumes, whilst having the ability to manage day-to-day activities

• Ability to work under pressure while managing conflicting demands against tight deadlines

• Instinctive problem-solving skills coupled with a sound analytical approach

• An ability to communicate complex and technical processes to diverse audiences, orally and in writing.

• A flexible approach to work and the desire to thrive in a dynamic, fast-moving environment

• Good verbal and written communication skills

• UK driving license and ability to travel.
