electromagnetic engineer
Electromagnetic engineers design and develop electromagnetic systems, devices, and components, such as electromagnets in loudspeakers, electromagnetic locks, conducting magnets in MRI's, and magnets in electric motors.
electromagnetic engineer electromagnetic engineers design and develop electromagnetic systems, devices, and components, such as electromagnets in loudspeakers, electromagnetic locks, conducting magnets in MRI's, and magnets in electric motors. The role shows moderate AI exposure (0.50 on a 0-1 scale) — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. The most in-demand skills for the role include battery design, microwave principles, battery management systems, electricity principles, engineering principles.
Pay in the UK
UK: median £60,303 a year for Electrical engineers (ONS ASHE 2025, full-time)
Middle half of full-time jobs: £43,003 to £73,899 a year
UK jobs are grouped differently; this is the closest UK occupation group (ONS SOC 2020 2123). ONS rates this estimate reasonably precise. 2025 provisional figures; ONS revises them a year later. Source: ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (Open Government Licence)
Pay in India (occupation group)
Average monthly earnings of salaried employees in the occupation group “Professionals” in India, from the Government of India's Periodic Labour Force Survey (January–December 2025). It covers everyone in this group, not only electromagnetic engineer, and it is not US pay converted to rupees.

What skills does electromagnetic engineer need?
The most in-demand skills for this role include battery design, microwave principles, battery management systems, electricity principles, engineering principles, electrical equipment regulations. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.
Will AI replace electromagnetic engineer?
Our AI-durability model gives electromagnetic engineer a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
