You will work closely with IC design, package design, PCB design, and systems teams to identify and resolve EMC risks across our product portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with IC design teams to optimise RF emissions and immunity performance.
• Perform EMC simulations for new IC, package and ASIC technologies.
• Develop and execute IC EMC tests for emissions and immunity.
• Conduct measurements in accordance with IEC 61967, IEC 62132, CISPR 32, CISPR 25 and ISO 11452
• Use EMC test equipment such as TEM cells, stripline fixtures and immunity surface-scan systems.
• Design EMC evaluation PCBs, including test ICs and supporting circuitry.
• Analyse test results and recommend improvements to product performance.
• Provide technical input to customer-facing documentation.
• Support customer engagements and occasional customer visits.
• Improve EMC design and test methodologies across the product portfolio.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or an equivalent qualification.

• Proven experience with automotive EMC standards, procedures and test methods, including ISO 11452 and ISO 16750
• Strong practical experience conducting EMC measurements and analysing test results.
• Understanding of how electromagnetic interference affects ICs at system level and how IC behaviour can influence overall EMC compliance.
• Experience with PCB schematic capture and PCB design.
• Experience using Python, LabVIEW or similar tools for test automation and data analysis.
• Strong written, verbal and presentation skills.
• A self-motivated, collaborative and methodical approach.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications

• Knowledge of simulation tools such as ADS and/or HyperLynx.
• Experience with portable consumer products and mixed-signal analogue and digital design.
• Experience with ESD simulators, RF immunity amplifiers, network analysers, spectrum analysers or GSM testers such as the CMU200.
• Practical SMT hand-soldering experience.
• Experience supporting customers or producing technical documentation.
