EMI/EMC Test Engineer Level 3

About the role

This is a mid-level position for an electrical/EMI engineer with basic EMI/EMC testing skills and a strong interest in growing in the field. The selected candidate will:

• Work as part of a team of engineers and technicians to plan, set up, and execute EMI/EMC tests at the equipment and subsystem level in accordance with company and customer requirements.
• Configure test setups and instrumentation in EMI chambers, shielded rooms, and bench test environments, always with a focus on safety, quality, and collaboration.
• Operate oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF preamplifiers, LISNs, transient generators, antennas, and other EMI test equipment needed to run test campaigns.
• Develop, follow, and help refine EMI/EMC test procedures, test configurations, and test reports under guidance from senior engineers.
• Apply and interpret EMI/EMC standards such as MIL-STD-461 and DO-160 to support test execution and basic data review.
• Analyze test data to identify potential non-compliances, clearly document observations, and support root-cause analysis and troubleshooting as part of a cross-functional team.
• Participate in test readiness and lab readiness activities, supporting coordination with internal and external test facilities.
• Maintain accurate, configuration-controlled test documentation, including logs, screenshots, and formal reports for customer and internal reviews.
• Demonstrate a positive, can-do attitude and flexibility to support extended work weeks and occasional weekend work when program schedules require it.
