Senior Systems Engineer – Electric Propulsion

Location : Lindsay, Ontario, Canada (Hybrid) Employment Type :

Full-time Salary Range : CAD 165,000 – 210,000 gross / year About the

Role A senior-level Systems Engineer – Electric Propulsion is

sought to lead the design, integration, and validation of advanced

electric propulsion architectures for hybrid eVTOL aircraft. This

role involves close collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to

develop high-performance, safe, and certifiable propulsion systems,

including motors, inverters, motor controllers, and power

distribution units. You will be a key driver in defining

system-level requirements, validating performance, and ensuring

certification compliance. Key Responsibilities Lead system-level

design and integration of electric propulsion units (EPUs),

including motors, inverters, and thermal management components

Define system and sub-system requirements, interface

specifications, and performance targets aligned with vehicle-level

needs Support development and verification of motor control

algorithms and high-voltage power electronics Analyze and optimize

propulsion performance across operational scenarios—hover,

transition, and cruise Oversee thermal modeling and cooling

strategies in collaboration with thermal and mechanical teams

Coordinate with suppliers for component selection, integration, and

validation according to aerospace standards Support safety and

reliability analyses, including FMEA, FTA, FHA, and contribute to

system architecture trade studies Participate in lab-based testing,

HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) setups, and ground / flight test campaigns

Develop and maintain documentation for system design, requirements

traceability, and certification compliance Act as an integral

technical contributor and interface between project management and

other engineering teams Challenge the status quo and introduce new

approaches to improve engineering quality, productivity, and

delivery timelines Stay current with developments in electric

propulsion, systems engineering, and eVTOL technologies Drive

continuous improvement of processes to increase safety, efficiency,

and reliability Requirements 7+ years of experience in aerospace or

automotive systems engineering, covering all phases of the product

lifecycle Hands-on experience with electric propulsion systems,

high-voltage power electronics, or related disciplines Familiarity

with eVTOL certification regulations (TCCA, FAA, EASA) Strong

systems engineering background and experience with

cross-disciplinary integration Proven ability to work in complex,

fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams Excellent communication,

collaboration, and stakeholder management skills What is Offered
