A system is provided for an aircraft. This system includes a propulsor rotor and a powerplant configured to drive rotation of the propulsor rotor. The powerplant includes a turbo-compounded intermittent internal combustion engine and a dual rotor electric machine. The turbo-compounded intermittent internal combustion engine includes a turbine rotor operatively coupled to the propulsor rotor through the dual rotor electric machine. The dual rotor electric machine includes a first rotor, a second rotor, a first stator and a second stator. The first stator and the second stator are arranged radially between and axially aligned with the first rotor and the second rotor.
