TL;DR · EMC Test Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike

JOB TITLE: EMC Test Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike The EMC Test Engineer joins the Air Dominance & Strike Electrical Engineering team to design, test, and validate electromagnetic compatibility and interference solutions for electronic products. This role involves leading EMI/EMC testing on complex systems, driving product maturity through rapid prototyping, and authoring comprehensive test plans for defense applications. You will mitigate risks using precise modeling, simulation, and experimental activities to ensure compliance with military, aerospace, and defense standards like MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464D, RTCA DO-160, and SAE. Required skills include proficiency with spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and simulation tools like ANSYS or CST Microwave Studio. You must also understand PCB layout techniques and standard interfaces such as CAN, ETH, MIPI, DP, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB for defense platforms.

What you'll do

  • Lead and execute EMI/EMC testing and comprehensive analysis on complex electronic systems and components.
  • Drive product maturity through rapid prototyping, design verification, and rigorous qualification activities for defense applications.
  • Implement advanced design strategies to proactively mitigate and resolve EMI/EMC issues at their root.
  • Author and maintain comprehensive test plans, detailed reports, and essential documentation for compliance verification.
  • Identify program-specific EMI/EMC risks and define robust mitigation approaches using modeling, simulation, or experimental activities.
  • Conduct critical field tests and assessments to evaluate product performance in real-world operational environments.
  • Ensure all EMC requirements are integrated into product designs from the initial inception phase.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related technical field.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in EMI/EMC design and testing within military, aerospace, or avionics sectors.
  • Expertise in EMI/EMC standards including MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464D, RTCA DO-160, and SAE.
  • Deep expertise in E3 design principles, including HERO, HEMP, Lightning Protection, ESD, and RF exposure limits.
  • Expert proficiency in using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, antennas, LISNs, and anechoic chambers.
  • Experience with advanced simulation tools such as ANSYS and CST Microwave Studio for EMI analysis.
  • Full understanding of PCB layout techniques and ability to interpret complex schematics for defense systems.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Clearance.
