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

EMC Test Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike joins the Air Dominance & Strike Electrical Engineering team to design, test, and validate electromagnetic compatibility and interference solutions for electronic products. The role involves leading EMI/EMC testing on complex systems, performing rapid prototyping, and executing rigorous qualification activities for defense applications. Key responsibilities include authoring test plans, identifying program-specific risks through modeling or simulation, and conducting field tests in real-world environments. Candidates must possess expertise in E3 design principles, HERO, HEMP, Lightning Protection, ESD, and RF exposure limits while maintaining mastery of MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464D, RTCA DO-160, and SAE standards. Required skills include proficiency with spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, anechoic chambers, and simulation tools like ANSYS or CST Microwave Studio. Technical competencies include PCB layout techniques, schematic interpretation, and familiarity with CAN, ETH, MIPI, DP, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB interfaces.

What you'll do

  • Execute EMI/EMC testing and analysis on complex electronic systems to ensure operational integrity.
  • Drive product maturity through rapid prototyping, design verification, and rigorous qualification for defense applications.
  • Implement advanced design strategies to proactively mitigate and resolve root-cause EMI/EMC issues.
  • Author and maintain comprehensive test plans, reports, and documentation for critical compliance verification.
  • Identify program-specific risks and define mitigation strategies using modeling, simulation, or experimental activities.
  • Ensure all EMC requirements are integrated into the product design from the initial inception phase.
  • Conduct field tests to evaluate product performance in challenging, real-world operational environments.
  • Maintain mastery over military, aerospace, and defense standards such as MIL-STD-461G and RTCA DO-160.

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 EMC/EMI standards including MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464D, RTCA DO-160, and SAE.
  • Proficiency in E3 design principles, including HERO, HEMP, Lightning Protection, ESD, and RF exposure limits.
  • Expert proficiency with testing equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, antennas, LISN, and anechoic chambers.
  • Experience using advanced simulation tools like ANSYS or CST Microwave Studio for EMI analysis and modeling.
  • Understanding of PCB layout techniques and ability to interpret complex schematics.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Clearance.
