About the Role
We are hiring a Principal EMI/EMC Simulation Engineer to build and lead an enterprise‑grade virtual EMI/EMC capability that meaningfully reduces reliance on late‑stage physical chamber design validation and accelerates first‑time pass for complex automotive electronics. You will define the workflows, modeling standards, correlation methodology, and tool chains to deliver predictive CE/RE/BCI/RI outcomes with engineering‑grade confidence. This role requires deep physics knowledge, pragmatic simplification skills, and strong cross‑functional leadership across EE design, mechanical, systems, firmware, test labs, and suppliers.
WhatYou Will Do
- Own the virtual EMI/EMC roadmap: define the modeling architecture and V3 workflows for Conducted Emissions (CE), Radiated Emissions (RE), Conducted Immunity (BCI), and Radiated Immunity (RI) across product lines.
- Build a scalable hybrid simulation workflow: partition problems across quasi‑static extraction, PEEC/MTL cable modeling, full‑wave 3D EM, and circuit co‑simulation, choosing the right physics fidelity per frequency band and geometry scale.
- Translate software operating modes into EM‑realistic sources: develop mode libraries and convert them into calibrated per‑rail current spectra/time waveforms and switching‑node stimuli.
- Lead correlation and validation campaigns: design correlation experiments and quantify model accuracy and establish acceptance criteria and model governance.
- Establish cross‑SBU modeling standards: mesh guidelines, uncertainty budgets, parameter sweeps/DOE, Monte Carlo plans; document best practices and train the broader team.
- Provide actionable EMC guidance during architecture, schematic, layout, and mechanical integration to prevent issues before prototype builds.
- Drive toolchain integration and automation in PLM, manage compute strategy.
- Partner with test labs and suppliers: align virtual models with real fixtures; ensure vendor component models are fit for simulation.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering or a related field.
- 5+ years of professional experience in simulation engineering, with at least 3 years in EMI/EMC simulations for automotive electronics.
- Deep EM fundamentals: expert‑level understanding of Maxwell‑based EM, and when to use full‑wave vs special cases including coupling mechanisms, CM/DM conversion, resonance, radiation, and shielding effectiveness.
- Demonstrated track record of leading technical projects, preferably in regulated industries such as automotive, aerospace, or healthcare.
- Experience working in cross‑functional and global teams, driving alignment between technical and business objectives.
- Tool proficiency with at least one major stack:
Ansys AEDT or Siemens EDA. - Solid understanding of automotive development processes and standards e.g., CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ASPICE.
- Good leadership and communication skills: ability to guide teams, engage with executives, and translate technical concepts into business value.
- Experience simulating EMC at system/vehicle level (harness networks, multi‑module coupling) and deploying design‑to‑validation workflows in production organizations.
- Expertise in nonlinear EMC phenomena and co‑simulation: TVS/ESD behavior, ferrite saturation, SMPS mode transitions, and mapping induced disturbances to software‑defined functional criteria.
- Experience building model libraries (connectors, CMCs, ferrites, absorbers), and post‑processing tools that emulate compliance receivers (RBW/VBW, detectors).
- HPC/GPU acceleration experience for EM workloads, and best practices for model version control, automation, and traceability.
- Fluency in English language, both spoken and written.
- Willingness to travel domestic and international on a need basis (20%).
- Willingness to relocate to your primary office location.
