Most EMC engineers spend their careers in a test cell. This one doesn't. This is a project engineering role sitting inside one of the most technically advanced EMC and Radiation Effects teams in UK defence. Your focus is electromagnetic modelling and simulation, not rack-and-stack testing, and you'll be working on novel digital proving techniques that are actively reshaping how complex defence systems are qualified and brought into service.
You'll be applying FEM and FIT solvers, working with tools like CST Studio and ANSYS HFSS, and contributing to the Verification and Validation frameworks that underpin high‑assurance programmes. The work matters. The stakes are real.
Qualifications- A background in electronics, electrical engineering, physics, or EMC
- Hands‑on experience with FEM, FIT or similar simulation solvers
- SPICE simulation tool experience
- Strong problem‑solving instincts and the ability to work to programme timelines
- V&V experience, knowledge of military EMC standards, or a defence background are all useful, but not essential. If you're technically strong and curious, training will be provided.
British citizenship is required. Hybrid working, 2 to 3 days on‑site. Up to 14% pension, flexi leave, paid overtime, and a company bonus scheme.
