Senior Electrical Engineer, EMI-Warfighter Systems

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in EMI/EMC focus to join our expanding team. This role focuses on leading EMI/EMC (Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility) design initiatives for our AR/VR product. The ideal candidate will be responsible for working cross-functionally to optimize designs for electromagnetic compatibility, conducting EMI/EMC tests, and reviewing schematics/layouts for EMI/EMC considerations. Background in consumer electronics, AR/VR devices, high speed interfaces is a plus.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Evaluation of high-speed digital, precision analog, RF, and high-power designs for EMI/EMC compliance.
• Use EMC simulation tools to predict and analyze electromagnetic performance of electronic systems.
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate EMI/EMC considerations into product design.
• Drive product maturity through rapid prototyping, design verification, and qualification activities.
• Apply modern design standards and guidelines to create high-reliability, highly manufacturable assemblies.
• Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.
• Conduct test to assess electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility performance.
• Troubleshoot and resolve EMI/EMC performance issues throughout the product lifecycle.
• Work in a fast-paced environment, having to juggle multiple concurrent projects and customers.
• Define EMI/EMC design guidelines and best practices
• Stay updated on military and avionics EMI/EMC standards, regulations, and best practices (MIL-STD-461, DO-160)
• Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug and integration with the system.
• Development of soldier worn AR and VR systems for the purposes of navigation, vision enhancement, communications, tactical, training
• Ability to generate requirements and work cross functionally with Mechanical, Thermal, Validation engineers
• Factory and manufacturing support from a design, DfX, quality, debug, and failure analysis perspective

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Full understanding of PCB Layout techniques to meet mechanical, electrical, EMI/EMC, and manufacturing requirements.
• Strong mathematical background with ability to drive EMI/EMC simulation tools to generate system performance models
• Identify program EMI/EMC risks and define strategies for reducing risk through the definition of modeling, simulation, or experimental activities.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices appropriate for each design.
• Familiarity with standard interfaces such as MIPI, DP, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.
• Familiarity with common MCU, CPU, SOC devices and technologies.
• Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.
• Comfortable with a variety of electronic CAD tools (Altium preferred)
• Experience in design for signal integrity / power integrity
• Ability to determine work priorities based on broad direction from management.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with others.
• Ability to work within our company and team culture.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior experience in designing electronics for consumers and miniaturization
• Full understanding of MIL-STD-461 and relevant military electromagnetic compatibility standards.
