We are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail, a strong commitment to owning their work, and the ability to communicate at all levels of the organization. A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and a minimum of five (5) years of relevant experience are required. International travel may be required. Straight‑time overtime, a 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off), and/or one day of telework per week may be available.

Some of your major responsibilities will include:

• Report directly to the Electronics and Electrical Section Manager as part of a group of 45 other Electronics and Electrical Engineers.
• Work with NASA engineers and industry partners to support spaceflight avionics systems.
• Assist in planning, executing, and analyzing EMI/EMC tests on electronic hardware at NASA JSC and external facilities.
• Contribute to test plans, procedures, and reports, while learning from experienced EMI/EMC engineers.
• Support design reviews, risk assessments, and system integration across avionics, power, RF, and mechanical teams.
• Gain hands‑on experience with test equipment, circuit design reviews, and EMI/EMC compliance methods.
• Learn and apply industry and NASA standards (e.g., MIL‑STD‑461) to real‑world projects.

Required:

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering from an accredited engineering school and a minimum of five (5) years of related experience.
• Coursework in electromagnetic (EM) fields and/or electronic design.
• Passionate, self‑motivated, and collaborative team player.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment.

Preferred:

• Master of Science or Ph.D. degree from an accredited institution.
• Experience with space, military or commercial EMI/EMC design, test planning, execution and mitigation.
• Sound knowledge of and experience in EMI/EMC compliance design and testing per MIL‑STD‑461 and MIL‑STD‑464 for electrical/electronic systems.
• General knowledge of and basic hands‑on experience with EMI/EMC laboratory test equipment including spectrum analyzers, RF amplifiers, signal generators, EMI receivers, antennas, directional couplers, and power meters.
• Understanding of and ability to specify electronic system test hardware such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, function generators, electronic load banks, power supplies, power analyzers, and network components.
• Basic understanding of RF design, circuit theory, and electromagnetic principles, including component and cable shielding, filters, magnetics, microwaves, and antennas.
• Understanding of key EMI/EMC problem areas such as radiated emissions, electrostatic discharge (ESD), RF susceptibility, power disturbances, and internal crosstalk.
• Experience reviewing schematics, PCB layouts, and mechanical designs for electromagnetic design mitigation.
• Experience with satellite or spacecraft system design and testing.
• Ability to create test plans and write test reports per customer requirements.
• Certification as an iNARTE EMC/EMI engineer or similar.
• Experience with filtering, bonding, grounding, and shielding for EMI/EMC performance and compliance.
