Job description

Overview of department:

Our client's Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) department is like no other. It is split between a test team working hands on in their state-of-the-art EMC Facility to simulate environments, and a highly skilled project consultancy team that is embedded across all projects to ensure good EMC practice and design.
This role is with our client's EMC Project Team, which supports programmes throughout their product lifecycles, from concept through to disposal. The majority of the work involves establishing, progressing, and delivering the risk reduction and qualification strategies that will bring a product into service. This includes writing documentation, reviewing hardware, and may involve hands-on hardware review and informal testing.
The EMC Project Team supports projects from Bristol and Stevenage to ensure the correct requirements are implemented, designs are robust, and the strategy is correct. The test team then performs formal testing in the products' intended electromagnetic environment at the EMC Laboratories in Bristol.

Responsibilities:

At our client, EMC engineers are responsible for managing assigned milestone deliverables associated with EMC Engineering activities and act as focal points and specialists for EMC requirements for the project teams.
The role involves writing Environmental Requirement Specifications (ERS) and subsequent documentation, including EMC Control Plans, Proving Plans, Proving Requirements, and Proving Instructions, in support of product development and qualification. Our EMC engineers oversee EMC qualification testing to ensure that evidence will be suitable for our customers, working across functional and international boundaries to resolve sophisticated technical problems using analytical tools.

Skillset/experience required:

Essential

• Higher education or significant experience within subject fields: Electronics, Electrical, Physics, EMC or similar.
• Good understanding of EMC and design principles.
• Excellent communication skills at all levels, both verbally and in writing.
• Ability to work to defined deadlines and within budget limits.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Professional manner and adaptability when the company's needs are evolving.
• Capable of working autonomously to meet the delivery needs of the company.

Desirable

• Knowledge in the application of a military EMC standard to system, sub-system, or equipment level is desirable (e.g. Defence Standard 59-41/59-411, AECTP500, Mil-Std-461, RTCA DO160/EUROCAE ED-14).
• Engineers with previous experience in delivering support around the subject of electromagnetic compatibility.
