TL;DR · Senior EMC Engineer

Senior EMC Engineer As part of the Electrical Engineering Design team, the Senior EMC Engineer will collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and materials teams to ensure robust electromagnetic performance for defense systems. The role involves defining product and interface-level requirements, developing pre-compliance and compliance test plans, and managing local lab operations. Key responsibilities include executing and supervising testing against MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 standards, analyzing emission failures using measurement and simulation data, and implementing design countermeasures. The candidate will evaluate circuit schematics, PCB stack-ups, floorplans, and shielding strategies while managing equipment calibration. Required skills include proficiency with EMI receivers, signal generators, and power amplifiers, alongside knowledge of signal integrity and grounding practices. Experience with EM simulation tools like Ansys HFSS or CST Studio Suite is preferred to solve complex electromagnetic challenges in high-stakes defense environments.

What you'll do

  • Define product, module, and interface-level EMC requirements and develop pre-compliance and compliance test strategies.
  • Operate the local EMC lab by planning, executing, and troubleshooting tests at internal facilities and third-party labs.
  • Evaluate test data to identify root causes for emission failures and implement effective design countermeasures.
  • Review circuit schematics, CAD designs, and PCB layouts to mitigate risks related to signal integrity and electromagnetic performance.
  • Provide technical guidance on component selection, floor planning, stack-ups, shielding, and grounding strategies.
  • Communicate findings and negotiate design trade-offs with internal stakeholders and external suppliers regarding EMC issues.
  • Supervise and support complex test campaigns at third-party labs as required by project schedules.

What we're looking for

  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
  • Strong knowledge of MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 EMC test methods and requirements.
  • Experience with radiated and conducted emissions/immunity testing from pre-compliance through full compliance campaigns.
  • Hands-on experience with EMC test equipment including EMI receivers, signal generators, power amplifiers, LISNs, current probes, and antennas.
  • Experience managing or maintaining an EMC test lab, including equipment calibration and test capability planning.
  • Working knowledge of PCB layout, stack-up, and flex circuit design as it relates to EMC and signal integrity.
  • Familiarity with shielding materials, coatings, and grounding/bonding practices.
  • Experience with EM simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, Altair FEKO, or CST Studio Suite (preferred).
