Description

  • Define and own the platform-level RF and EMC concept from early design through certification, including antenna placement, frequency management, co-site interference analysis, and requirements traceability.
  • Perform platform-level RF and EMC analyses, including link budgets, antenna pattern assessment, cable shielding effectiveness, and conducted and radiated interference predictions.
  • Translate RF and EMC analysis outputs into clear design requirements for electronics, mechanical, and systems engineers.
  • Work closely with radio engineers to define clean RF interfaces across C2 links, datalinks, GNSS, and SATCOM.
  • Ensure robust frequency co-existence across the full platform radio architecture.
  • Guide and support EMC test campaigns at board, LRU, system, and platform level.
  • Provide test strategy, setup guidance, and real-time engineering judgement during EMC testing.
  • Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for any EMC non-conformances identified.
  • Write and maintain EMC control plans, test plans, RF interface documents, and analysis reports for defence and aerospace programme compliance.

Requirements

  • Experience owning RF and EMC engineering within aerospace, UAV, or defence programmes.
  • Hands-on experience with antenna selection and placement on complex platforms.
  • Understanding of radiation patterns, ground plane effects, co-site interference, and mechanical integration constraints.
  • Experience performing platform-level EMC analysis covering conducted and radiated emissions, susceptibility, shielding effectiveness, bonding, and grounding.
  • Experience supporting or leading test campaigns against standards such as MIL-STD-461 or DO-160.
  • Ability to produce link budgets and RF system analyses and translate them into antenna and radio system requirements.
  • Working knowledge of onboard radio systems including C2 links, datalinks, GNSS, and SATCOM.
  • Ability to define and manage RF and EMC requirements with full traceability across the system hierarchy.
  • Ability to act decisively with minimal guidance and own outcomes end-to-end.
  • Familiarity with antenna design and simulation tools such as CST or HFSS, and experience with frequency deconfliction and spectrum management in a multi-radio UAV or aircraft environment (preferred).
  • Knowledge of EMC control planning within a structured aerospace development and certification programme, including documentation rigour for regulatory submissions (preferred).

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and VSOP options.
  • Relocation support of up to €2,500 plus 4 weeks of temporary accommodation.
  • €500/£450 yearly learning allowance.
  • Gym membership and mental health support through Nilo.health.
  • Regular company events and monthly social allowances.
  • Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers and 6 weeks for secondary caregivers.
  • 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy, and a phased return-to-work arrangement.
  • Hands-on onboarding program with the opportunity to build tooling and applications used across the company.
