Job description

The EMC Simulation & Design Engineer will be responsible for the following:

• Co-Own the virtual EMI/EMC roadmap: define the modeling architecture and workflows for standard tests such as Conducted Emissions (CE), Radiated Emissions (RE), Conducted Immunity (BCI), and Radiated Immunity (RI) across product lines.
• Build a scalable hybrid simulation workflow: partition problems across quasi-static extraction, PEEC/MTL cable modeling, full-wave 3D EM, and circuit co-simulation, choosing the right physics fidelity per frequency band and geometry scale.
• Lead correlation and validation campaigns: design correlation experiments and quantify model accuracy and establish acceptance criteria and model governance.
• Provide actionable EMC guidance during architecture, schematic, layout, and mechanical integration to prevent issues before prototype builds.
• Partner with test labs and suppliers: align virtual models with real fixtures; ensure vendor component models are fit for simulation.
• Research and development projects utilizing Vector network analyzer and other RF measurement equipment
• EMC chamber mapping, chamber uniformity, vehicle antenna pattern measurement, and vehicle antenna matching
• Correlation studies between vehicle tests, bench-level tests, and EMC test simulation
• Instructing/training other engineers in various simulation methodologies and tools development

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent from an ABET accredited or equivalent program
• Minimum of 8 years of relevant engineering experience with demonstrated application of EMC/RF principles, electromagnetic modeling and simulation, and/or correlation of simulation results with physical test data.
• Demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas: EMC testing, RF testing/design, electromagnetic modeling and simulation, or EMC/RF test-to-simulation correlation.
• PC literate, i.e., Microsoft tools and/or Google Suite
• Outstanding problem solving and analytical skills
• Good teamwork skills and ability to work independently
• Good communication and interpersonal skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent from an ABET accredited or equivalent program
• Demonstrated experience utilizing virtual/simulation EMC tools and advanced EMC measurement equipment
• Familiar with RF test equipment, EMC methodologies, and/or EMC simulation tools
• Familiar with electromagnetic compatibility and/or RF environments
• Trained in the use of electrical/electronic RF test and analysis instrumentation, ie., power meters, receivers, spectrum analyzers, RF generators, Vector network analyzer, and/or time domain reflectometers
• Familiar with EMC simulation software, i.e., EMCoS/EMC Studio, Ansys, SPICE, and/or MATLAB
