Power Distribution Expert for eVTOL

Toyoyama, Aichi

Outline of the Job

We are seeking a highly skilled Power Distribution Engineer to support the design, development, and integration of advanced electrical power distribution systems for our next-generation eVTOL aircraft. You will play a key role in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and compliance of high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems in accordance with aerospace standards.

Key Responsibility

  • Design, analyze, and develop high-voltage (600-800V DC) and low-voltage (28VDC) power distribution systems for eVTOL applications, considering functions such as HV power distribution, HV to LV power conversion (DC-DC converters), and LV power distribution.
  • Review supplier documentation to ensure compliance with applicable power distribution requirements, efficiency targets, and safety standards.
  • Support electrical power quality assessments, including transient analysis, harmonics, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation.
  • Conduct trade studies on power distribution components such as circuit breakers, relays, connectors, and power electronic devices.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-704, ARP4761) and certification requirements.
  • Work closely with battery management system (BMS), propulsion, avionics, and flight control teams to ensure seamless power integration.
  • Develop and execute test plans for power distribution system validation, including lab testing and aircraft-level integration.
  • Identify and mitigate electrical safety hazards and ensure robustness in high-voltage and low-voltage system design.
  • Provide technical support for component qualification and system integration activities.

Essential Skills

  • Strong knowledge of high-voltage and low-voltage DC distribution architectures.
  • Familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD-704, ARP4761, and FAA certification processes.
  • Hands-on experience with power distribution components, including circuit breakers, relays, contactors, and power electronics.
  • Experience with electrical simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE, or similar)

Desirable Skills

  • Experience in eVTOL, electric propulsion, or hybrid-electric aircraft development.
  • Experience with DC-DC converter design review and compliance verification for efficient power conversion in aerospace applications.
  • Knowledge of battery management systems (BMS), high-power inverters, and energy storage systems.
  • Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) for electrical system development.
  • Previous experience with aircraft certification and regulatory compliance.

Target Candidate

  • Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to analyze complex electrical systems and propose optimized solutions.
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Those who can act on their own initiative

Type of Employment
