## Description

## Job Overview

As the Systems Engineer for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), you will own the end-to-end EMI/EMC engineering lifecycle for our airborne platforms. You will translate complex electromagnetic requirements into measurable subsystem specifications and define the comprehensive EMC Control Plan.

## Responsibilities

- Own the end-to-end EMI/EMC engineering for an airborne platform, including the control plan, compliance roadmap, and integration strategy across all subsystems.

- 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, co-site interference, and intermodulation between RF subsystems.

- Lead EM modeling and simulation: antenna placement, cable coupling, shielding effectiveness, lightning indirect effects, and HIRF using tools such as CST, FEKO, HFSS, or equivalent.

- Define zoning, bonding, and grounding architecture, including lightning protection and current return network for metallic and composite structures.

- Support antenna integration and placement trade studies, including pattern degradation and isolation budgets.

- Establish the EMI/EMC qualification and verification strategy against applicable standards (MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, DO-160, STANAG, or equivalent).

- Own the EMI/EMC test campaign: plans, procedures, chamber and on-platform testing, and corrective actions.

- Coordinate cross-functional design decisions with airframe, avionics, EW, comms, propulsion, power, and mission computing; manage EM trade-offs.

- Own EMI/EMC-related interfaces and ICDs (grounding, shielding, filtering, connector specifications).

- Manage supplier technical governance for EMI/EMC compliance and non-conformance closure.

## Requirements

- Hold a relevant degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

- Have proven experience in EMI/EMC engineering for airborne platforms with end-to-end ownership from requirements to certification.

- Have a strong understanding of electromagnetic theory: transmission lines, antennas, wave propagation, shielding, grounding, and coupling mechanisms.

- Can convert platform-level requirements into subsystem-level EMI/EMC specifications and verification criteria.

- Are familiar with applicable standards and relevant NATO/STANAG or national military airworthiness frameworks.

- Have hands-on experience with EM simulation tools for antenna placement, coupling, shielding effectiveness, HIRF, and lightning indirect effects analysis.

- Have experience designing grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering, and cable segregation schemes for complex platforms, including composite structures.

- Have defined and executed EMI/EMC test campaigns: chamber testing, on-platform ground tests, and flight test EMC verification, including instrumentation and data analysis.

- Are comfortable leading cross-functional and supplier governance: reviewing EMC control plans, qualification evidence, ICDs, and driving issue closure with objective evidence.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)

- Social: regularly company events and monthly social allowances

- Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers.

- Family support: 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work
