Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain the Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Plan (ESMP) covering both design and operational phases of the programme.

• 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. xbpsjku
