EMC / EMI Compliance Engineer – Electronics & RF Design
An agile engineering collective driven by first-principles thinking, we pair deep RF expertise with nimble product cycles. Our culture prizes candid feedback, data-backed decisions and the freedom to work wherever you solve problems best—lab bench, home office or anechoic chamber.
Responsibilities
- Lead EMC architecture reviews and inject best-in-class shielding, filtering and grounding solutions.
- Draft, execute and iterate pre-compliance test plans—radiated and conducted—using spectrum analyzers, EMI receivers, LISNs, near-field probes.
- Troubleshoot emissions and susceptibility issues at board, cable and system levels; isolate root causes within hours, not days.
- Guide PCB layout teams on stack-up, component placement and trace routing for optimal EMC margins.
- Own formal lab engagements: schedule test windows, specify setups, interpret data, steer rapid redesigns.
- Track evolving FCC, CISPR, CE, MIL-STD and ISO standards, translating new clauses into actionable design checklists.
- Model critical interfaces in CST or Ansys HFSS to predict coupling paths before hardware exists.
- Educate cross-functional engineers through concise brown-bag sessions and living design guides.
- Document findings in clear, audit-ready reports that withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or higher in Electrical Engineering, Physics or similar.
- 5+ years hands-on EMC / EMI design and debug in automotive, aerospace, medical or high-volume consumer products.
- Fluent with RF measurement techniques—calibrations, antenna factors, time-domain scanning.
- Proficient in schematic capture and PCB tools (Altium, Cadence, Mentor) and simulation platforms (CST, Ansys).
- Demonstrated success driving products from concept to global certification with zero late-stage surprises.
- Sharp analytical mindset; you simplify Maxwell’s equations into design-floor decisions.
- Written and verbal communication that turns dense technical data into actionable insights for non-specialists.
- Ability to collaborate asynchronously across multiple time zones—remote contributors welcome.
