Systems Engineer - Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end EMI/EMC engineering for an airborne platform, including the control plan, compliance roadmap, and integration strategy
• Translate platform-level electromagnetic environment requirements into measurable subsystem-level EMI/EMC requirements and KPIs
• Define and maintain the EMC Control Plan: grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering, and cable segregation philosophies
• Perform electromagnetic interference analysis across the platform: emissions/susceptibility, antenna-to-antenna coupling, and intermodulation
• Lead EM modeling and simulation using tools such as CST, FEKO, or HFSS
• Define zoning, bonding, and grounding architecture for metallic and composite structures
• Establish the EMI/EMC qualification and verification strategy against standards like MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, or DO-160
• Own the EMI/EMC test campaign: plans, procedures, chamber, and on-platform testing
• Coordinate cross-functional design decisions with airframe, avionics, EW, and propulsion teams
• Manage supplier technical governance for EMI/EMC compliance

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
• Proven experience in EMI/EMC engineering for airborne platforms
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory: transmission lines, antennas, and wave propagation
• Experience with EM simulation tools (CST, FEKO, HFSS, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with NATO/STANAG or national military airworthiness frameworks
• Experience designing grounding, bonding, and shielding schemes for complex platforms
• Experience executing EMI/EMC test campaigns including chamber and flight test verification

Benefits

• Competitive salary and VSOP options
• Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation
• Yearly learning allowance of €500/£450
• Gym membership and mental health support
