About the Job

Requirements

  • A master's degree in Electronic Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering, specializing in electromagnetics (electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic compatibility), is required.
  • A PhD in Electronic Engineering with a focus on electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic compatibility is an advantage, not a requirement.
  • In-depth knowledge of electromagnetic field theory, antennas, propagation, and transmission lines is required.
  • Familiarity with computational electromagnetics methods, including the method of moments, finite element method, finite difference methods, and asymptotic techniques, is required.
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic simulation tools CST, EMC+, FEKO, EMIT, and Antenna Magus is required.
  • Familiarity with Siemens Capital Logic and Capital Harness software is required.
  • Intermediate-to-advanced proficiency in MATLAB and Python is required.
  • Knowledge of Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office packages is required.
  • Knowledge of Linux operating systems is required.
  • Written and spoken English at B2 level or above is required.
  • Availability to work at the Turin site and, after appropriate on-the-job training, potentially on secondment at a partner company in the UK or Japan is required.
  • Availability for business travel in Italy and/or abroad is required.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and certify aircraft electromagnetic compatibility activities.
  • Perform electromagnetic simulations for the design, installation, and verification of onboard systems, addressing compatibility with the external environment and between onboard systems, particularly radio-transmitting and receiving systems.
  • Support positioning, installation, and protection of the aircraft platform.
  • Model antennas and radio-transmitting and receiving systems using their technical characteristics, radiation patterns, and geometries.
  • Create aircraft electromagnetic models using aircraft surface and wiring CAD models and material data.
  • Calculate installed aircraft antenna radiation patterns, coupling factors, and interference margins between transmitters and receivers.
  • Calculate transfer functions from external fields and aircraft transmitter-radiated fields to internal fields in areas where electronic equipment or personnel are located, and calculate field-to-current transfer functions for the equipment wiring, for electromagnetic compatibility, high-intensity radiated fields protection, and radiation hazards protection.
  • Calculate transfer functions from incident current on the aircraft to current in electronic equipment wiring for lightning protection, nuclear electromagnetic pulse protection, and electrostatic discharge protection.
  • Identify recommendations to mitigate issues found.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of electromagnetic compatibility topics, including EMC, HIRF, RADHAZ, lightning, EMP, and ESD.
  • Knowledge of the aircraft's radio-transmitting and receiving systems.
