Electrical Engineer

Build the Future of Flight with Us:

At Elysian Aircraft, we're not just building a company; we're crafting a vision for the future of aviation. With the sky as our canvas, we see endless possibilities on our journey. Supported by industry leaders and global organizations, our mission to create the aircraft of the future is already taking flight. We are building a team of passionate, creative, and ambitious individuals to help redefine the way the world flies.

 

Your Role in the Mission:

The Electric Powertrain Department is looking for an Electrical Engineer to support the development, integration and testing of the advanced electric power distribution system for Elysian Aircraft's next-generation electric aircraft. This position requires technical expertise, innovative thinking, and the ability to collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams to push the boundaries of powertrain technology in sustainable aviation.

If you’re excited by the challenge of turning an industry myth into a real aircraft, Apply — even if you don’t tick every box. We value different paths, backgrounds, and perspectives, and we know high potential doesn’t come in one “standard” shape.

 

Your Day-to-Day:

Support the Electric Powertrain System design:

• The Electric Powertrain system is composed by the distribution systems (busbars, sensing, monitoring, layout and wiring) protection systems (circuit breaker, SSPC), inverter and motors.
• Activities includes specification, calculation, simulation, failure analysis of the component that will be outsourced or co-designed with suppliers.

Prototyping:

• Support equipment definition, selection and procurement.
• Assembly of demonstrators (Test Benches & subsystems).

Perform Testing and Validation:

• Support the demonstrator test definition and planning
• Perform testing and validation

Cross-team Collaboration:

• Work closely with the energy storage, structural, and propulsion integration team to ensure seamless integration of powertrain components.
• Support project steering committees.

 

Traits for Success:

We’re looking for people who want to make a difference, not just tick boxes. If you meet most of the following, we’d love to hear from you:

1. Required:
   • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred).
   • 3+ years of practical experience in the field of Electric power Distribution and Conversion.
   • Hands-on experience with static and dynamic electrotechnics/mechatronics systems : Equipment set-up and commissioning, test plan definition and execution.
   • Knowledge of PMSM machine, power electronics (SSPC, Inverter), cabling and busbar design and sizing.
   • Knowledge with design, modelling and simulation (Electrical, Systems, Thermal).
2. Preferred:
   • Experience with asynchronous machines (Electrotechnical design, space vector control, dyno testing,…).
   • Real-Time embedded software knowledge.
   • Familiarity with aerospace regulation, standard ex. CS25 and its MOC, DO-160, E-19, SC-VTOL.
3. Skills:
   • Pro-active and hands-on behavior
   • Analytical and problem-solving skills.
   • Proficient in technical communication and collaboration with diverse stakeholders.
   • Passion for advancing sustainable aviation technology.
