Job description

Position: EMI/EMC Test Engineer (Medical Devices)

Location: New Castle, DE
Employment Type: Full-Time / Contract

Job Summary

We are seeking an EMI/EMC Test Engineer to own electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference testing for our medical device portfolio, ensuring compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 and supporting FDA/international regulatory submissions. The role works closely with R&D, systems engineering, and regulatory affairs to identify and mitigate EMC risks throughout the design lifecycle, particularly for devices operating in clinical and home-use environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, execute, and analyze EMC pre-compliance and full-compliance testing per IEC 60601-1-2 (radiated/conducted emissions, radiated/conducted immunity, ESD, EFT/burst, surge, magnetic field immunity, dips & interruptions)
• Apply collateral/particular standards as applicable (e.g., IEC 60601-1-11 for home healthcare environments, IEC 60601-2-XX device-specific standards)
• Support wireless coexistence testing for connected medical devices (BLE, Wi-Fi) per FDA guidance on RF wireless technology
• Conduct EMC design reviews at schematic, PCB layout, cable/harness, and enclosure stages - especially around patient-connected circuits and isolation boundaries
• Debug EMI/EMC failures using spectrum analyzers, EMI receivers, near-field probes, ESD simulators, and surge/EFT generators

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Biomedical Engineering or related field
• 3 7 years of EMI/EMC experience
• Minimum 2+ years specific to medical devices
• Understanding of "essential performance" and "basic safety" concepts as they relate to EMC pass/fail criteria
• Experience with EMC test equipment: EMI receivers, spectrum analyzers, ESD guns, surge/EFT/burst generators, near-field probes
