The below is designed to give you an idea of the role you will play. There will be many more exciting and innovative things to do.

• Lead the development and maintenance of inhouse RF and EMC test capabilities to flight qualification standards. Lead the commissioning verification and ongoing optimisation of EMC facilities including the anechoic chamber antennas amplifiers measurement instrumentation grounding systems and associated infrastructure.
• Prepare and maintain detailed RF/EMC test documentation including test procedures standard operating procedures (SOPs) acceptance criteria test configurations and test reports in line with applicable standards.
• Act as the primary point of contact for RF/EMC testing of electronics and avionics including test execution troubleshooting root cause analysis and the investigation and implementation of corrective actions for nonconforming results or test anomalies.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives across RF/EMC test processes and facilities to improve repeatability reduce test time lower risk and increase data quality and confidence.
• Develop training materials and deliver handson training to enable the onboarding and upskilling of technicians and engineers in EMC test setup chamber operation safety and configuration control.
• Ensure delivery of compliance and alignment with relevant MILSTD461 MILSTD464 NASA ECSS and applicable industry EMC standards supporting internal reviews customer audits and qualification campaigns.
• Act as a liaison between design and production teams ensuring electronic assemblies and systems are optimised for EMC performance and testability. Provide expert input into RF/EMC considerations impacting design integration and verification.
• Participate in design and readiness reviews with a focus on EMC compliance test feasibility quality grounding and bonding cabling shielding and facility constraints identifying risks early and driving mitigation actions.
• Support supply chain development and management for RF/EMC test equipment instrumentation absorbers antennas cables and fixtures including engagement with external test houses where applicable.
• Provide feedback to design teams and support design updates when necessary in response to EMC test findings compliance risks parts or materials obsolescence and evolving system requirements
• Other duties as required by Management

Minimum Qualifications Skills and Experience:
