Role overview
About this role
To lead EMC Engineering activities within the Electronic Design Centre of Excellence, supporting Power and Avionic Systems projects, from early design concept through to qualification. The EMC Engineer will be available to coach Engineers of all levels, and provide consultancy to other departments, in all aspects of aerospace EMC including lightning protection. Essential Responsibilities: * The EMC Engineer will work with Hardware Systems Engineers and Product Designers to define effective design strategies. Risks related with EMC performance and lightning protection will be identified, and routes defined to mitigate them. As EMC is a system problem, the right candidate will be able to work effectively with other engineers of various disciplines and at all levels to ensure design strategies are implemented effectively. * The EMC Engineer will be available to support the development of qualification test plans, test procedures and development and qualification test reports, working in conjunction with qualification test teams and qualification support engineers. The Engineer must be able to define test strategies, to ensure products are tested in a manner that meets our customers' needs, with robust and practical test systems. * An important part of this role is to understand and derive customer requirements, based on numerous aerospace standards, including DO-160, MIL-STD, DEF-STAN and customer owned specifications from Boeing and Airbus. The EMC Engineer will be able to advise on test methods and procedures to support customers, project teams and teams involved with bids and proposals. * To support departments dealing with design changes, the Engineer will be able to provide technical leadership to aid customer assessments and engineering investigations. Qualifications/Requirements: * A degree or equivalent level of knowledge or experience in Electronic Engineering or a related subject. * Knowledge of EMC test methods and standards, and experience in developing procedures and test plans. * Must be able to demonstrate experience investigating Electromagnetic Interference and RF susceptibilities, and resolving issues to circuit and component level. * The candidate will have experience in developing and implementing EMC design and test strategies. Experience related to product design for EMC is essential. Desired Characteristics: * The EMC Engineer will ideally have a background in Electronics design, and will have the ability to comprehend the function of electronic circuit designs and to fault find functional problems. * Knowledge of power supply design would be advantageous, and an understanding of signal integrity design techniques. Benefits Include: * Good Opportunities for Career Development, Regular Reviews and Career Planning. * Excellent Relocation Package. * Share Option Scheme * Flexible Benefits Successful applicants will be required to obtain UK MOD security clearance prior to appointment.
