Job Description

We are seeking an  EMC Engineer that will focus on solving complex electromagnetic compatibility and interference challenges for mission-critical electrical and electronic systems used in nuclear and highly regulated environments. This is not a checkbox testing role — it requires critical thinking, strong documentation discipline, and the ability to adapt test strategies to real-world systems. Engineers in this role are trusted technical representatives who work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure systems meet stringent performance and compliance requirements.

Core responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute EMC / EMI test plans for complex electrical and electronic systems, adapting established methods to unique system configurations and customer requirements
  • Perform a wide range of EMC qualification testing in laboratory environments, including emissions, immunity, surge, ESD, and RF susceptibility testing
  • Operate and interpret data from advanced test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, EMI receivers, and related instrumentation
  • Analyze test results, identify non-compliance issues, and support troubleshooting efforts to determine root causes and recommend corrective actions
  • Produce clear, detailed technical reports and documentation aligned with quality assurance and regulatory standards
  • Support on-site testing and field diagnostics at customer facilities as needed, including measurements, surveys, and system verification activities
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, technicians, and project stakeholders to ensure high technical quality and consistent execution

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline
  • 2–7+ years of experience in EMC engineering, test engineering, or related technical roles
  • Working knowledge of EMC testing standards and methodologies (e.g., MIL-STD-461, IEC 61000 series, or similar)
  • Experience operating common EMC test equipment and producing formal test documentation
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply sound engineering judgment in ambiguous situations
  • High attention to detail, particularly in test planning, data interpretation, and report writing
  • Professional communication skills and a customer-focused mindset
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to support on-site testing and troubleshooting
  • U.S. citizenship required due to facility access and regulatory requirements

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting testing or engineering efforts in regulated industries such as nuclear, aerospace, defense, automotive, or industrial systems
  • Familiarity with lab operations, systems integration, or qualification testing environments
  • EMC-related certifications (e.g., iNARTE) or willingness to pursue certification
  • Comfort working in multidisciplinary engineering teams and research-driven environments

Benefits

  • Competitive annual salary with annual performance reviews
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
  • Four weeks of paid time off plus paid holidays
  • Ongoing professional development through mentorship, training, and exposure to advanced engineering challenges
  • Long-term growth opportunities within a technically rigorous, mission-driven organization
