This is an individual contributor role within the hardware engineering organization.
What You Will Do
- Analyze applicable EMC standards, OEM requirements, and internal specifications.
- Support EMC concept definition during schematic and PCB layout design phases.
- Perform EMC simulations and assessments at board and system level to identify risks.
- Plan and execute EMC pre-compliance and compliance testing (emissions, immunity, ESD, surge).
- Set up and operate EMC test environments and laboratory equipment.
- Evaluate measurement results and identify deviations or potential risks.
- Support root cause analysis and implementation of corrective countermeasures.
- Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and system engineers to resolve EMC issues.
- Create and maintain test reports, verification documentation, and technical presentations.
- Support design reviews, FMEAs, and release decisions from an EMC perspective.
What You Need to Be Successful
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
- Several years of experience in EMC design, testing, or validation for electronic systems.
- Solid understanding of EMC fundamentals and automotive EMC standards (e.g. CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 7637, IEC 61000‑x).
- Hands-on experience with EMC measurement equipment (spectrum analyzers, LISNs, oscilloscopes, antennas, probes).
- Ability to read and interpret schematics and PCB layouts.
- Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
- Good communication skills in English.
Bonus Points if You Have
- Experience with EMC simulation tools (e.g. HFSS, CST, SIwave, LTspice).
- Knowledge of automotive communication interfaces (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I²C).
- Experience working with external test houses and certification bodies.
- iNARTE or comparable EMC-related certification.
What Makes You Eligible
- Willingness to work in a hybrid environment (office and remote).
- Willingness to travel occasionally depending on project needs.
