The role offers high visibility and direct impact on product design, reliability, and future certification efforts.

• Execute EMC and EMI validation efforts during product development cycles to support aggressive program timelines.
• Independently run EMC test plans, including setup, execution, data collection, and documentation of results.
• Analyze EMC test data to identify likely failure mechanisms and performance trends.
• Provide clear, actionable design recommendations to electrical engineering teams based on test findings.
• Collaborate directly with electrical design engineers to resolve EMC-related failures and issues.
• Support radiated and conducted emissions and immunity testing for complex power-generation products.
• Use spectrum analyzers, signal and frequency generators, amplifiers, oscilloscopes, and EMC test software/tools to perform testing and troubleshooting.
• Ensure EMC testing aligns with relevant IEC and EN standards, including current revisions and versions.
• Contribute to PCB layout and product design discussions to improve EMC performance and compliance.
• Assist in guiding design decisions that keep critical power-generation products on track for key development milestones.
• Work closely with EMC laboratory personnel and product development teams to coordinate test schedules and priorities.
• Support future EMC certification efforts by generating reliable test data and design feedback.
• Operate effectively in EMC chambers and labs, following established safety and test procedures.
• Demonstrate increasing independence in managing test activities, from planning through reporting, with minimal supervision.

• 5+ years of hands-on EMC/EMI testing experience in an engineering capacity.
• Proven ability to independently execute EMC test plans from setup through completion.
• Strong capability to analyze EMC test results, interpret what the data indicates, and identify likely failure mechanisms.
• Experience working with IEC and EN standards, including familiarity with current revisions and versions beyond basic awareness.
• Solid electrical engineering foundation, with the ability to understand complex circuits and power systems.
• Proficiency using spectrum analyzers for emissions and immunity measurements.
• Experience with signal and frequency generators in EMC test setups.
• Hands-on use of amplifiers and associated test equipment in EMC environments.
• Strong skills using oscilloscopes for diagnostic and verification activities.
• Experience with EMC test software and tools to control equipment, log data, and generate reports.
• Background supporting radiated and conducted emissions and immunity testing.
• Ability to work directly and effectively with design engineers to resolve EMC issues and drive design improvements.
• Capability to provide actionable feedback to electrical engineering teams with minimal supervision.
• Comfort working in EMC chambers and laboratories, following test procedures and safety practices.
• Demonstrated ability to run EMC testing, interpret data, and help guide design decisions rather than focusing on compliance paperwork or technician-level tasks.

• Experience with PCB layout, particularly as it relates to EMC performance and noise mitigation.
• Product design experience in complex electrical or…
