Right after takeoff Runway XX at ZZZ about 1;300 feet MSL; 95 kts indicated airspeed; we had a significant thrust lost on the right engine; PFD (Primary Flight Display) indicates both right engine's ECU (Engine Control Unit) failed simultaneously and RPM drop down to about 1500 RPM; but we can tell the right engine is still producing some thrust (feels like 30-40%). We thought it might be a dual ECU failure. Copilot did the checklist on both ECU failures; didn't work; so we proceed back to ZZZ immediately; we were clear of the Runway after landing; and towed back to hangar afterward; from intersection Taxiway 1 between Taxiway 2 and Runway XX.
DA42 Pilot reported dual ECU failure resulting in power loss shortly after takeoff resulting in an immediate return to the departure airport.
