Senior EMC, HIRF, & Lightning Engineer (all genders)

As a Senior EMC, HIRF & Lightning Protection Engineer (all genders) you will help us design and develop the aircraft and its installed systems. As an all-electric aircraft, this may entail new and novel approaches to meeting the EMC, HIRF and Lightning protection goals, in some cases requiring an innovative approach to systems design. This will be a broad role covering design support, analysis, test and compliance finding.

In this role, you will provide specialist support to all other engineering groups including systems and structures.

• Proactively lead and execute technical tasks related to EMC, HIRF & Lightning protection for the Microliner development and certification, from capturing technical requirements to demonstrating compliance.
• Contribute significantly to the definition, architecture, sizing, specification, and development of the overall electrical system with respect to meeting the EMC, HIRF and Lightning protection goals.
• Support high and low voltage electrics and avionics safety analysis and conduct system engineering tasks.
• Support the installation and integration of entire electrical/electronic systems on an aircraft level.
• Develop mitigation strategies for system noise and coupling issues, including shielding, grounding, and filtering solutions.
• Lead efforts to analyse and design system protection against high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF).
• Coordinate HIRF immunity tests with external labs and certification bodies.
• Develop strategies for direct and indirect lightning protection for airframe, electrical wiring, and electronic equipment.
• Plan, execute, and document EMC, HIRF, and lightning tests in compliance with regulatory and customer requirements.
• Diagnose and resolve electromagnetic interference issues observed during development or testing.

• Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering or equivalent (Electrical/Electronics).
• Minimum 8 years experience with HIRF, EMC and lightning protection (indirect effects).
• Experience with the full development lifecycle from conceptual design through to certification (EASA/FAA Part 23 or 25).
• Experience working in an EASA Part 21J Design Organization, or international equivalent.
• Knowledge of systems & safety engineering principles for safety critical systems (SAE ARP 4754/4761).
• Working experience with relevant industry standards, such as DO-160G, MIL-STD-461, ARP
  5414/ARP
  5415, and other applicable standards.
• Working knowledge with direct effects of lightning protection and certification is a plus.
• Experience with electric propulsion systems or high-voltage aerospace architectures is a plus.
• Proficiency coordinating activities of engineers internally and in partner supplier companies.
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills in English, other language would be a plus.
• Positive thinking, “Can do” attitude and working nature characterized by self-initiative, solution orientation, eagerness to learn, grow and apply new skills.
• Passioned about aviation and electrification of aviation industry.
