Jonathan Roadley-battin is an advisory engineer specializing in high-power motor drive systems with 13 years of focused experience designing, integrating and leading propulsion and power-electronics programs across aerospace platforms. He currently leads development of a 250 kW propulsion converter aimed for first flight by 2026, with adaptable architectures under review for eVTOL and hybrid propulsion applications. His résumé spans major aircraft programs (A380, A350, CSeries, KC390) and a string of advanced projects delivering everything from 5 kW actuator drives to 200 kW electric engine starters and SiC-based motor-drives hitting 99% efficiency. Comfortable toggling between hands-on analogue/gatedrive design and system-level integration, he has repeatedly moved prototypes into flight-capable hardware as technical lead. An active contributor to open-source tooling like Gitea, he brings practical backend development experience that complements his hardware systems work and helps improve integration and maintainability workflows. Based in England, he pairs an MEng from Nottingham with a track record of translating demanding aerospace requirements into robust, highly efficient power-electronic solutions.
