About Sarla Aviation:

Sarla Aviation is at the forefront of revolutionizing urban air mobility with its cutting-edge eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off and Landing) aircraft featuring innovative tilt-rotor technology. Sarla Aviation, a pioneer in the development of sustainable, efficient, and safe air transportation systems, is dedicated to influencing the future of aviation. We are seeking a skilled and driven Electric Propulsion Motor Architect to join our expanding team and contribute to the success of our eVTOL program.

About the role:

This is a senior technical leadership role. You’ll take ownership of the electric motor architecture for our eVTOL propulsion system, propelling everything from topology and thermal integration to electromagnetic design and fault strategy. We expect deep technical judgment, hands-on design experience, and the ability to work across disciplines with power electronics, thermal, structures, and systems teams.

You’ll be responsible for providing our propulsion motor that not only meets performance goals but also integrates cleanly with the aircraft and stands up to the scrutiny of certification. You’ll drive decisions, mentor younger engineers, and work directly with the senior leadership to define technology strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the architecture and specification of high-performance electric motors (e.g., axial flux / radial flux) for eVTOL propulsion.
  • Define motor requirements, including power rating, torque-speed profile, voltage range, cooling strategy, EMI/EMC constraints, and fault tolerance.
  • Collaborate with inverter and power electronics teams to ensure optimal system performance and safety.
  • Perform trade studies on electromagnetic, thermal, and structural factors to optimize motor topology.
  • Work with mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing teams to assure motor designs satisfy weight, efficiency, and manufacturability requirements.
  • Lead FMEA, safety case development, and certification documentation in alignment with DO-160, DO-311, and other applicable aerospace standards.
  • Coordinate testing and validation of motors, including lab dyno testing, thermal characterization, and durability testing.
  • Stay up to date with emerging technologies in motor materials, cooling, insulation, and control strategies to maintain a competitive edge.
  • Support sourcing strategies, supplier selection, and evaluation of build partners for prototyping and production.

Required Qualifications

  • PhD or master's degree in electrical engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or a related subject.
  • 8+ years of background in motor design and development, including at least 3 years in aerospace, automotive, or high-performance industrial applications.
  • Extensive experience with high-voltage (600-1000V) and high-power (>100 kW) motor systems.
  • Extensive knowledge of motor control, electromagnetic design (FEA), and powertrain integration.
  • Experience with thermal management solutions, including air, liquid, and phase-change cooling systems.
  • Experience with aerospace certification and safety compliance (DO-160, DO-311, ARP4754A).
  • Worked in multidisciplinary teams with external suppliers and motor manufacturing partners.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with axial flux motor designs or advanced propulsion technologies.
  • Exposure to hybrid-electric or distributed propulsion systems.
  • Working knowledge of inverter architectures
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and digital twin methodologies.
  • Hands-on experience with lab validation setups, including instrumentation and high-speed DAQ systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:
