EMC & AC Power Electronics Contract – Civilian Space Tech! Program (Outside IR35)

We are currently offering an exciting 6-month initial contract opportunity (Outside IR35) to support the development of advanced power electronics systems within a cutting-edge civil aerospace program.

 Location: Onsite in Wokingham – due to the nature of EMC testing and support, regular onsite presence is essential.

This role is ideally suited for an engineer with a strong background in EMC compliance, AC power system design (230V, 800-2000Hz), and hands-on power electronics development.

The client are welcoming both mid-level experience and senior level applicants.

You’ll be contributing directly to the validation and integration of next-generation airborne power systems.

 Key Responsibilities:

• Provide EMC technical support throughout the design, test, and validation phases of a 230V AC power supply system.
• Collaborate with design teams to ensure compliance with aerospace EMC standards (DO-160, MIL-STD-461, etc.).
• Support the design and development of AC power electronics, including filtering, grounding strategies, and shielding techniques.
• Perform EMC testing and troubleshooting at the system and sub-system level.
• Assist in the development and execution of test plans, reports, and technical documentation for certification.
• Engage in root cause analysis and mitigation of conducted and radiated emissions issues.

✅ Ideal Background:

• Exposure/Experience with power electronics (800Hz-2000Hz range ideal).
• Proven track record of EMC testing, debugging, and compliance in regulated industries (preferably aerospace).
• Familiarity with EMC test equipment, setups, and interpreting results.
• Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, high-integrity engineering environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity to apply your EMC and power electronics expertise to a forward-thinking aerospace project, contributing to critical system performance and certification milestones. The client have interview availability for 3:30pm Mond
