About The Position

The Technical Specialist III serves as an Electromagnetic Effects (EME) subject matter expert in high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF), lightning, and electromagnetic compatibility. The role provides company-wide technical guidance for product design, qualification, and regulatory compliance, and is responsible for requirement specification, test guidance, coordination, and certification support with certification authorities. The position works on engineering projects involving critical problems that require major technological advances and extensive related development. It is responsible for an entire engineering project of major complexity within an established scope, making authoritative technical decisions with significant impact across engineering activities. The role applies advanced technical principles and specialized expertise, leads development of innovative principles and ideas, and independently determines methods to optimize technical product, cost, and schedule requirements. It works under consultative direction and uses independent judgment. The specialist develops standards and guides for diverse engineering activities and conceives and plans investigations in important areas where engineering precedents are lacking. The role identifies potential design and compliance issues early, supports integration and sharing of technical experience within the local team, and performs other duties as assigned.
