EMC Engineer

Profile Reporting directly to the Electrical & EMC & EWIS manager, the EMC Engineer will be responsible for aircraft protection against electromagnetic threats, including inter-system EMI, ESD, HIRF, and lightning.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute complex engineering assignments requiring expertise in the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) field. • Assess compliance with fuel tank explosion prevention requirements for new and existing products. • Review qualification documentation in electromagnetics (e.g., magnetic effects, audio frequency susceptibility, induced signal susceptibility, RF susceptibility, RF emissions, lightning-induced susceptibility, lightning direct effects, electrostatic discharge). • Assess aircraft-level inter-system electromagnetic interference. • Analyze modifications and non-conformances at the aircraft level and evaluate compliance with certification regulations. • Participate in meetings and design reviews with system suppliers for design optimization and cost reduction. • Participate in continued airworthiness projects as required and propose risk-mitigating solutions. • You are familiar with regulatory working relationships with TC, EASA, or FAA, and you must be capable of obtaining DAD / DAR status.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. Specialization in electromagnetics is a strong asset. • Minimum of 5 years of working experience in the EMC specialty. • A general knowledge of aircraft and system design. Skills • Knowledge of electromagnetic fields, theory and transmission line phenomena, antennas and propagation, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC. • Knowledge of 14 CFR 25.954 and 25.981 regulations and fuel tank protection against lightning, HIRF, static electricity, and other hazards. • The candidate shall be familiar with the relevant industry standards and best practices (DO-160, SAE ARP, FAA advisory circulars and regulations), as well as other applicable airworthiness regulations. • The candidate shall be able to analyze modifications at the aircraft level and check compliance with certification regulations. • Knowledge EMA3D electromagnetic threat simulation / analysis tool is an asset. • The candidate shall be self-motivated and are proactive in finding solutions to problems.
