We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Staff EMI/EMC (Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility) Engineer to join our engineering team in the aerospace and defense industry. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in ensuring that our phased array communication systems meet all EMI/EMC requirements and standards. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including design, test, and systems engineering, to develop, analyze, and implement EMI/EMC control strategies that ensure the integrity and performance of our products in harsh environments.
JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop and implement EMI/EMC control plans, including analysis of designs to identify potential interference issues and suggest mitigations.
- Provide technical guidance to design teams on EMI/EMC considerations, ensuring that all systems comply with relevant standards and performance requirements.
- Plan, coordinate, and conduct EMI/EMC testing for electronics modules and phased array communication systems, including preparing test plans, defining test setups, and performing tests in accordance with relevant standards (e.g., MIL-STD-461, DO-160, ECSS).
- Utilize simulation tools (e.g., CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS) to model electromagnetic fields and predict potential interference issues at the component, subsystem, and system levels.
- Ensure that all products meet regulatory requirements and industry standards for EMI/EMC, including documentation, certification, and reporting to stakeholders.
- Investigate and resolve EMI/EMC-related issues, including conducting root cause analysis and developing corrective actions to address non-compliance or performance shortfalls.
- Prepare comprehensive reports and technical documentation, including test results, compliance matrices, and design guidelines for internal and external stakeholders.
