Key Responsibilities: Develop and maintain the Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Plan (ESMP) covering both design and operational phases of the programme.
Please make an application promptly if you are a good match for this role due to high levels of interest.
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
