Full 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
