TL;DR · EMC Engineer

As an EMC Engineer, you will drive regulatory compliance design, validation, and laboratory testing for next-generation automotive Electronic Control Units and robotic platforms. You will collaborate with multi-functional teams to implement system-level circuit designs for EMI mitigation while defining requirements for schematic design, layout, filtering, shielding, and grounding. Your daily work involves applying electromagnetic theory to board and enclosure designs, planning radiated and conducted emissions testing, and leading debugging efforts to resolve complex analog and digital failures. You will utilize tools such as HFSS, CST Studio Suite, FEKO, or SPICE, while working with receivers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and oscilloscopes. The role requires expertise in automotive communication protocols like CAN, LIN, and Ethernet, alongside knowledge of standards including CISPR 25, CISPR 12, SAE J551, ISO 11452, and ISO 7637 to ensure hardware meets performance goals.

What you'll do

  • Implement system-level circuit designs for EMI mitigation and define requirements for shielding, grounding, and filtering.
  • Apply electromagnetic theory to guide PCB layout and mechanical chassis/enclosure designs.
  • Plan, set up, and execute radiated and conducted emissions and immunity testing per regulatory standards.
  • Lead the debugging and resolution of complex analog and digital emission failures.
  • Provide technical engineering support to customers to resolve field integration issues and ensure compliance.
  • Generate comprehensive test plans, compliance trackers, and official regulatory certification reports.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience with evident exceptional ability.
  • Minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience in automotive electronic product design, debugging, and EMC validation for mass production.
  • Strong knowledge of automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, automotive Ethernet, and USB.
  • Deep familiarity with automotive and robotic EMC standards including CISPR 25, CISPR 12, SAE J551, ISO 11452, ISO 7637, and SAE J111.
  • Basic proficiency or exposure to electromagnetic CAD simulation tools such as HFSS, CST Studio Suite, FEKO, or SPICE.
  • Hands-on experience with PCBA modifications, wiring harness assembly, and laboratory test instruments like spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes.
  • Experience evaluating robotics applications, industrial automation, or automated material handling systems (preferred).
  • Familiarity with regional/global wireless standards (FCC, CE/RED, ISED) and ISO-17025 laboratory accreditation standards (preferred).
