Bristol (hybrid, 2 to 3 days per week on site)

SC required

Overview

A leading organisation in the defence and security sector is looking for a Project Engineer to join an established Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) projects function. The role sits within a digital and radiation effects focused team, working on electromagnetic modelling and simulation, and supporting qualification and risk-reduction strategies across complex engineering programmes.

This is a good fit for someone with a strong grounding in electronics/electromagnetics, plus modelling and simulation experience, who enjoys combining technical work with project delivery and stakeholder engagement.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting the development and deployment of digital proving techniques and methodologies
• Applying quality assurance approaches to electromagnetic modelling and simulation, including verification and validation activities
• Contributing to risk-reduction and qualification strategies that support efficient delivery into service
• Producing engineering documentation such as environmental requirement specifications and supporting evidence packs
• Collaborating with parallel EMC project teams, including opportunities to review hardware and support investigative testing where required

Essential:

• Degree-level education (or significant equivalent experience) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, EMC or similar
• Experience using simulation solvers such as FEM, FIT, or similar numerical methods
• Experience with SPICE simulation tools
• Strong problem-solving skills and sound understanding of electronic technologies
• Able to deliver to deadlines and within agreed budgets

Desirable:

• Exposure to EM simulation tools such as CST Studio or ANSYS HFSS
• Verification and validation (V&V) experience for numerical solvers
• Defence, aerospace, or other regulated engineering background
• CAD experience in any package
• Knowledge of radiation effects, EMC design principles, or EMC support delivery
• Familiarity with military/industry EMC standards (for example Def Stan 59-114 / 59-411, AECTP 500, MIL-STD-461, RTCA DO-160 / EUROCAE ED-14)

What’s on offer

• Bonus scheme (performance-related, varies year to year)
• Pension (combined employer and employee contribution up to 14%)
