Description

The Opportunity

We’re supporting a leading name in rotary-wing aircraft company who are looking to bring in an E3 / EMC Engineer to support a range of current and future helicopter programmes.

This is a full lifecycle role, giving you exposure from early-stage design through to testing, certification, and in-service support across multiple platforms (including conventional helicopters, tiltrotors, and UAS).

The Role

You’ll join a specialist E3 team responsible for ensuring aircraft systems operate safely and reliably in complex electromagnetic environments.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting design and integration of electrical/electronic systems with EMC considerations

• Planning and executing EMC / E3 verification and testing (lab, ground, and flight trials)

• Producing compliance documentation (test plans, reports, analysis, certification evidence)

• Supporting qualification and certification activities

• Working closely with cross-functional teams (systems, avionics, safety, mechanical)

• Investigating and resolving EM-related issues across the product lifecycle

What They’re Looking For

o EMC

o HIRF / Lightning Effects

o EMP / Environmental effects

• Experience supporting design, development, and verification xjnqpsq activities

• Ability to produce and review technical documentation

• Strong communication skills across engineering teams

Desirable:

• Aerospace background (rotary-wing highly beneficial)

• Experience working with certification bodies such as:

o EASA

o FAA

• Knowledge of standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-461, DEF STAN 59-411

• Exposure to systems engineering lifecycle and tools (e.g. DOORS)

• Experience with EM simulation tools
