EMC Proving Engineer

Based in Stevenage

Up to £50,000 + bonus + overtime

You don’t just test systems. You prove they work when it matters.

This role puts you right at the sharp end of defence engineering, taking a next-generation system and pushing it through extreme electromagnetic environments to make sure it performs, every time.

You’ll be hands-on. Setting up trials. Running tests in specialist EMC facilities. Breaking things (in a controlled way) and figuring out why. Then proving they meet the standard.

No passengers here. You’ll own what you do.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Designing and running EMC trials across the full lifecycle
• Working in anechoic and reverberation chambers
• Getting hands-on with test rigs, instrumentation and setups
• Analysing data and turning it into clear engineering evidence
• Writing reports that feed directly into certification
• Acting as the link between engineering teams and test facilities

What you’ll bring

• Experience in EMC, RF or electronic systems testing
• A practical mindset, someone who enjoys being in the lab, not just behind a screen
• Strong attention to detail, you spot what others miss
• Confidence analysing data and backing your conclusions
• Curiosity, you want to understand how and why things fail

Why this role stands out

• You’ll work on a live, high-profile UK defence programme
• Access to industry-leading EMC test facilities
• Real ownership of trials, not just supporting someone else’s work
• Clear opportunity to shape how EMC proving is done in the future

If you enjoy hands-on engineering, solving real problems, and seeing the direct impact of your work, this is one worth a conversation.
