TL;DR · Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer

The Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer joins the Hardware Engineering team to support an EMC/Regulatory engineering lead in developing new technologies for prototype and commercial WWAN devices. The role involves performing 3D electromagnetic simulations, including SAR and EMI, while resolving complex structures into simplified models to create design guidelines. You will conduct measurements using vector network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers to validate simulation data and provide consultation on regulatory compliance for products based on Qualcomm chipsets. Key technical requirements include a deep understanding of electromagnetic theory, transmission lines, antennas, and computational electromagnetics. You must be proficient with quasi-static and full-wave 3D EM simulation tools while navigating EMC test procedures for CDMA/GSM/UMTS wireless devices to meet FCC, R&TTE, and other international regulatory certification requirements regarding emissions, RF safety, immunity, and ESD.

What you'll do

  • Perform 3D electromagnetic simulations for prototype and commercial WWAN devices.
  • Develop simplified models from complex EM structures to generate design guidelines.
  • Conduct physical measurements to validate simulation results.
  • Analyze EMC data including emissions, immunity, SAR, TRP, TIS, and sensitivity.
  • Provide technical consultation to external customers regarding EMC and regulatory challenges.
  • Ensure wireless devices comply with international regulatory, EMC, and self-compatibility requirements.
  • Manage multiple design projects concurrently to meet development milestones.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field and 2+ years of hardware engineering experience.
  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field and 1+ year of hardware engineering experience.
  • PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
  • Required: Master's in Electrical Engineering.
  • Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, antennas, computational electromagnetics, and EMC design.
  • Experience with quasi-static and full-wave 3D EM simulation tools.
  • Proficiency with test equipment such as vector network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers for 3-5 years.
  • Knowledge of EMC test procedures and international regulatory certification requirements like FCC and R&TTE.
