Senior EMI/EMC Engineer (m/f/d)
fulltime_permanent experiencedJob Overview
As EMI/EMC Engineer you will will perform design, analysis and testing tasks for unmanned air vehicle systems down to a subcomponent system level. Furthermore, you will support in finding solutions for real-world problems related to jamming and electronic warfare. You will lead efforts in identifying and mitigating EMI/EMC vulnerabilities, supporting product compliance, and designing reliable hardware for mission-critical applications. You will also support in expanding our testing capability by planning and procuring test equipment according to our needs.
What is your Day to Day Mission:
Conduct hands-on debugging and mitigation of EMI/EMC issues at the board and system level using lab tools such as spectrum analyzers, LISNs, and near-field probes.
Analyze and improve system susceptibility performance, ensuring immunity to field strengths of 50 V/m or higher across key frequency ranges.
Design and implement RF filtering, shielding, and layout practices to enhance resistance to GPS jamming and spoofing.
Collaborate with RF, digital, and systems engineers to review schematics and PCB layouts for EMC, GPS integrity, and radiation resilience.
Perform and support lab testing campaigns for emissions, immunity, and GPS jamming resilience using MIL-STD-461, DO-160, or other standards.
Select, evaluate, and qualify radiation-hardened components, ensuring suitability for TID and SEE environments, especially for aerospace or spaceborne systems.
Develop and maintain internal design guidelines and checklists for EMC best practices, GPS robustness, and radiation mitigation techniques.
Work with simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, HFSS, CST) to model EMI paths, coupling mechanisms, or radiation susceptibility.
Participate in failure analysis and root-cause investigations when GPS lock is lost or EMI-related issues affect system functionality.
Provide technical input during design reviews and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure the system meets reliability, compliance, and survivability goals.
