Cyber Security Technical Specialist

Evolito’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric propulsion in aerospace applications in support of a net-zero world.

We will help to revolutionise personal mobility and transform our towns and cities with clean, noise-free air transportation.

Evolito develops and manufactures class-leading, lightweight, high-power, and high-torque-density electric propulsion systems for a range of aerospace markets, including EVTOL, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and General Aviation.

As well as ultra-high performance, low-weight electric motors and controllers, Evolito specialises in high integrity, bespoke battery systems for the aerospace and defence markets.

The team is scaling rapidly and has ambitious growth plans over the next twelve to eighteen months.

As part of our current high-growth phase, we are seeking a Cyber Security Technical Specialist to join our Software Team and support the safety, resilience, and compliance of Evolito’s aircraft propulsion and engine control systems.

This role focuses on embedded systems security, including Infineon AURIX TC3xx microcontrollers, Hardware Security Module (HSM) configuration, secure firmware deployment, hardware security testing and vulnerability assessment within safety-critical engine control hardware.

will include:

• Design and review security architectures for safety-critical Engine Control Units (ECUs) using Infineon AURIX TC3xx microcontrollers
• Conduct penetration testing, ethical hacking and vulnerability assessments on embedded ECU hardware, interfaces and debugging ports
• Programme, configure and optimise the isolated HSM core to offload cryptographic tasks from the main engine control host CPUs
• Implement secure boot flows, root-of-trust verification and secure firmware update mechanisms utilising AURIX SHE/HSM hardware acceleration for engine control systems
• Align AURIX-based ECU hardware security controls with civil aviation regulatory frameworks, including DO-326A, ED-202A and DO-254/DO-178C safety-security co-engineering
• Conduct threat modelling and side-channel analysis on embedded engine control components and safety-critical data networks
