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

  • Competitive senior-level compensation

  • No fixed holiday cap

  • Group benefits plan

  • Company stock purchase program

  • Hybrid work options

  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge eVTOL aerospace projects
