• Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Current security clearance.
• Strong focus on designing for and testing to MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, and RTCA/DO-160 specifications.
• Experience with common laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, receivers, signal generators, RF amplifiers, antennas, and EMI current probes.
• Strong foundation in electromagnetics, RF/microwave theory, and electronic warfare.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team developing RF systems and assemblies.
• Working knowledge of electromagnetic theory, radiated and conducted emissions, signal and power coupling effects, system susceptibility, EMI, EMC, E3, lightning effects, EMP, and HEMP.
• Experience with EMI/EMC design techniques for wide-band, high-isolation performance, signal containment, source suppression, and RF grounding for PCBs, subassemblies, and system-level hardware used in handheld, aircraft, ground, and shipboard systems and platforms.
• Experience with EMC simulation software tools, such as SPICE, Ansys HFSS or other electromagnetic simulators, Keysight ADS, and IBIS model development tool sets.
• Knowledge of commercial specifications and qualification testing, including FCC, CE-Mark, and RTCA DO-160, and military specifications such as UK DEF-STAN 59-41.
• iNARTE certification.
• Interest in TEMPEST disciplines and eventual pursuit of CTP-II certification.
• Experience with TILE! or similar EMI test software.

Responsibilities

• Create EMI control plans, test plans, test procedures, test reports, and other applicable documents.
• Assist technicians with pre-test setup and calibration measurements.
• Perform design and test activities to achieve EMI compliance.
• Support system and subsystem development efforts and design reviews, including subsystem partitioning, packaging, internal and external cable design, grounding and isolation requirements, CCA layout recommendations, schematic development, grounding maps, trade studies, analysis, and simulation related to EMI.
• Apply engineering principles to investigate, analyze, plan, design, test, and evaluate programs for Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3).
• Participate in the proposal process for programs with EMI/EMC requirements.
