At Collins Aerospace, your work matters, you’ll help build safer, more efficient, and sustainable flight systems while growing your skills and influence in a collaborative, innovative environment.
We are seeking a Principal Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC/EMI) Engineer who is ready to take on challenging technical problems and make a real impact.
If you are passionate about EMC/EMI and ready to make an impact, we are seeking you to join our team.
What You Will Do- Drive development and qualification activities for assigned programs and projects, ensuring EMC compliance while meeting technical, cost, and schedule objectives.
- Review and translate high-level EMI/EMC requirements to system and circuit-level specifications.
- Support hardware and system design efforts, including design reviews, to meet product performance requirements for EMI/EMC/Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) compliance per DO-160, MIL-STD-461, and other relevant standards.
- Create EMC control plans, guidelines, test procedures, and detailed test/similarity/analysis reports.
- Collaborate with senior EMI/EMC engineers to develop expertise in advanced EMC topics and expand technical knowledge.
- Utilize modeling/simulation tools and software in support of EMC design.
- Contribute to EMC Standard Work, identify and implement best practices, and share lessons learned with the team.
- Develop EMI/EMC test methodologies and test setups and supervise EMC setup construction and system integration.
- Conduct EMC assessments for design changes, including product development updates and obsolescence evaluations for component replacements.
