About the Role
An opportunity has arisen for an engineer to apply and develop their skills within our highly experienced and expanding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) projects team!
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Radiation Effects (RE) department is split between a test team working hands on in our state-of-the-art EMC Facility to simulate environments, and several highly skilled project teams embedded across all projects within MBDA. These teams cover a range of areas including: EMC requirements, test planning, design guidance, electromagnetic modelling and simulation and Radiation Effects assessment.
This role is within our Digital and Radiation Effects project team, investigating and/or deploying novel digital proving techniques and methodology. This includes quality assurance processes for electromagnetic modelling and simulation such as Verification and Validation (V&V).
You will be part of a collaborative team establishing, progressing and delivering risk reduction and qualification strategies that will bring products into service more efficiently while maintaining the required level of assurance. In addition, you will be provided the opportunity to learn from, and work with, EMC project engineers in parallel teams. This may include writing Environmental Requirement Specifications (ERS's) and subsequent documentation, or hands-on review of hardware with some investigative testing.
What we're looking for
- Higher education or significant experience within subject fields: Electronics, Electrical, Physics, EMC or similar.
- Experience of either Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Integration Technique (FIT) simulation solvers or similar.
What we can offer you
- Company bonus: Up to £2,500 (based on company performance and will vary year to year)
- Pension: maximum total (employer and employee) contribution of up to 14%
- Overtime: opportunity for paid overtime
- Flexi Leave: Up to 15 additional days
- Flexible working: We welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements
- Enhanced parental leave: offers up to 26 weeks for maternity, adoption and shared parental leave - enhancements are available for paternity leave, neonatal leave and fertility testing and treatments
- Facilities: Fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals, free car parking and much more
- Healthcare Cash Plan: The Healthcare Cash Plan benefit provides the option to claim cash back on everyday healthcare expenses such as optical, dental, health and wellbeing and more.
