The Opportunity
We're supporting a leading name in rotary-wing aircraft company who are looking to bring in an E3/EMC Engineer to support a range of current and future helicopter programmes.

This is a full life cycle role, giving you exposure from early-stage design through to testing, certification, and in-service support across multiple platforms (including conventional helicopters, tiltrotors, and UAS).

The Role
You'll join a specialist E3 team responsible for ensuring aircraft systems operate safely and reliably in complex electromagnetic environments.

Key responsibilities include:
Supporting design and integration of electrical/electronic systems with EMC considerations
Planning and executing EMC/E3 verification and testing (lab, ground, and flight trials)
Producing compliance documentation (test plans, reports, analysis, certification evidence)
Supporting qualification and certification activities
Working closely with cross-functional teams (systems, avionics, safety, mechanical)
Investigating and resolving EM-related issues across the product life cycle

What They're Looking For
