Very few engineers have ever measured a compromising emanation. If you have, you already know how narrow this field is.

You will lead the TEMPEST testing programme at a NATO site in Brunssum: the facility, the certifications and the SDIP 27 level ratings.

What you will be doing

• Organising, leading and coordinating every aspect of the TEMPEST level testing programme
• Directing installation, modification, certification and maintenance of the testing facility
• Performing TEMPEST level testing of commercial data processing equipment to SDIP 27 standards
• Evaluating electric radiation signals for compromising emanations and allocating the SDIP 27 Level B or C rating
• Investigating to detect emanations that could disclose classified information
• Acceptance testing of equipment certified by authorised vendors against its allocated rating
• Acting as the subject matter expert across all aspects of TEMPEST testing

What you will need

• Genuine TEMPEST or emanations security testing experience, not adjacent RF work
• Working knowledge of the SDIP standards and how a rating is allocated in practice
• Instrumentation and measurement discipline, and the record keeping that certification requires
• The judgement to run a test facility and guide others through it

Worth knowing before you apply

• Fully on-site in Brunssum
• This is a specialist laboratory role. If you have not done emanations testing, this will not be a fit.

Practical detail

• Contract engagement, long term
