Key Responsibilities:
Maximise your chances of a successful application to this job by ensuring your CV and skills are a good match.
* Develop and maintain the Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Plan (ESMP) covering both design and operational phases of the programme.
* Ensure compliance with electromagnetic standards including Defence Standard 59-411 and MOD spectrum governance processes.
* Manage electromagnetic spectrum planning, allocation, and coordination for systems operating within training and operational environments.
* Liaise with MOD authorities and regulatory bodies, including the Defence Electromagnetic Activity, to obtain spectrum allocations and approvals.
* Conduct electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) assessments to minimise harmful interference across systems.
* Develop frequency allocation matrices and ensure spectrum deconfliction across all systems participating in training exercises.
* Support system design reviews to ensure electromagnetic compatibility and spectrum compliance are incorporated during engineering design phases.
* Perform risk assessments related to electromagnetic emissions, including safety assessments for non-ionising radiation exposure.
* Monitor spectrum usage during exercises or operational deployments and implement corrective actions where required.
* Support modelling and simulation activities to analyse electromagnetic interactions and predict operational spectrum behaviour.
Required Skills and Experience:
* Proven experience in electromagnetic spectrum management, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or electromagnetic interference (EMI) within complex technical environments.
* Strong knowledge of defence standards related to electromagnetic management, including Defence Standard 59-411.
* Experience working with spectrum planning, frequency allocation, and spectrum management processes.
* Familiarity with regulatory and governance frameworks governing electromagnetic spectrum use.
* Experience conducting EMI/EMC risk assessments and ensuring equipment compliance with relevant standards.
* Experience supporting system design reviews and engineering governance processes.
* Ability to analyse electromagnetic interactions across complex system-of-systems environments.
* Strong understanding of radio frequency (RF) systems and spectrum-dependent technologies.
* Experience collaborating with engineering, safety, and operational teams within structured programmes.
* Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
Desirable Skills and Experience:
* Experience working within defence training environments or modelling and simulation systems.
* Experience developing electromagnetic management plans or spectrum coordination plans.
* Knowledge of spectrum modelling, simulation, and analysis techniques. xxuwjjq
