Senior EMC Test Engineer
As a Senior EMC Test Engineer at Eurofins, you will play a pivotal role in delivering complex and high-integrity electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for defense and aerospace programs within one of the UK's most capable EMC laboratories. Following the recent acquisition of AQL EMC by Eurofins, our laboratory is expanding rapidly, developing new capabilities and infrastructure to support tests that many other labs cannot perform. This position offers a unique opportunity to work alongside engineers with over 40 years of hands-on EMC test experience, providing mentorship and exposure to truly unique test programs.
In this role, you will perform and lead EMC testing to military and aerospace standards within our UKAS-accredited facilities. A significant part of this role involves traveling to customer premises or off-site testing locations. You will act as a senior technical authority during test preparation and execution, guiding set-ups, troubleshooting, and ensuring full compliance with standards and customer requirements. Additionally, you will engage with customers to clarify requirements, provide technical advice, and support the creation of test plans and quotations. Your responsibilities will also include supporting the development of new test capabilities and specialist methods enabled by recent investment, producing and reviewing detailed technical documentation, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across the lab.
The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on experience performing EMC/EMI testing to MIL-STD-461, DEF STAN 59-411, RTCA DO-160, or equivalent aerospace/defense standards. A strong understanding of EMC test methodologies, including radiated/conducted emissions and susceptibility, shielding effectiveness, ESD, and transient tests such as lightning, is essential. Proven ability to interpret specifications, develop test plans, and execute complex test campaigns independently is required. Proficiency in the use and configuration of EMC test equipment, demonstrated troubleshooting ability, and excellent written and verbal communication skills are also necessary. Eligibility for UK Security Check (SC) clearance is required.
Eurofins offers a dynamic and collaborative work environment where you can contribute directly to the growth and innovation resulting from our ongoing investment. Opportunities for progression toward Subject Matter Expert or leadership roles within the global network of Eurofins Electrical & Electronics laboratories are available. Working alongside engineers with over four decades of EMC test experience, you will gain mentorship and exposure to truly unique test programs, enhancing your professional development.
