MERITUS Talent are working with one of Europe's largest weapons manufacturers to recruit an EMC Engineer to join their Bristol offices.
EMC Engineer - Bristol - £55 per hour - INSIDE IR35 - Hybrid - 6 Months
Overview of department:
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) department is split between a test team working hands-on in our state-of-the-art EMC Facility to simulate environments and a highly skilled project consultancy team that is embedded across all projects to ensure good EMC practice & design.
This role is in our EMC Project Team who support programmes throughout their product lifecycles from concept through to disposal. The majority of the work involves establishing, progressing, and delivering the risk reduction and qualification strategies that will bring a product into service. This includes writing documentation, reviewing hardware, and may involve a hands-on review of the hardware and some informal testing.
The EMC Project Team supports projects from Bristol and Stevenage to ensure the correct requirements are implemented, that designs are robust, and the strategy is correct. The test team then performs a formal test in the products' intended electromagnetic environment at the EMC Laboratories in Bristol.
Responsibilities:
EMC engineers are responsible for managing assigned milestone deliverables associated with EMC Engineering activities and act as focal points and specialists for EMC requirements for the MBDA project teams.
The role involves writing Environmental Requirement Specifications (ERS's) and subsequent documentation including EMC Control Plans, Proving Plans, Proving Requirements, and Proving Instructions in support of product development and qualification.
Our EMC engineers oversee EMC qualification testing to ensure evidence will be suitable for our customers, working across functional and international boundaries to resolve sophisticated technical problems using analytical tools.
