RESPONSIBILITIES:

Design products to survive electromagnetic environmental effects
Set requirements based on physics rather than industry standards – a much deeper understanding of electromagnetic environmental effects is critical
Ensure that designs meet the EMI/EMC requirements that have been set
Interface with, teach, and set requirements with various design teams all around the company
Perform and teach electromagnetic compatibility design and analysis
Perform analysis and design relating to effects of space plasma, lightning, surface/bulk/triboelectric charging, circuit and power system grounding architectures, structural electrical bonding, circuit isolation, transfer impedance, shielding effectiveness, radiated/conducted emissions and susceptibility, near field/far field electrodynamics, shielding effectiveness, welding operations, corona and arc discharge, computational electromagnetics, etc.
Design and perform tests to validate the analyses and designs from the previous bullet
Write documents and control plans as needed
Troubleshoot EMI issues from board to system level
Operate a variety of EMI, RF, and electronics test equipment
Independently perform verifications and document results in a clear, precise, and complete manner
Support engineering effectively and confidently with creative thinking and rigor – question the status quo while adhering to documentation and maintaining prescribed quality standards

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or other engineering discipline
2+ years of professional experience
Experience programming in Python

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
