Job Title: Senior EMC/EMI Compliance Engineer
Location: North Reading, MA
Duration: 12 Months Contract (Contract to Permanent)
Pay range: $56.00 to $91.00 per hour on W2

Responsibilities:
  • Design for EMC Compliance: Apply EMC principles during the design phase to ensure products meet regulatory and industry standards, including IEC 61326-1, CISPR 11/EN55011, FCC, and IEC 61000-4-x.
  • Testing and Validation: Develop EMC design requirements, participate in EMC design reviews, and identify risks early in the development cycle. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure designs comply with global EMC regulations and standards, preparing detailed test reports and documentation for regulatory submissions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with hardware, software, and mechanical engineering teams to identify and mitigate EMC risks during the design process.
  • Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving: Identify and resolve EMC issues in prototypes and production units, including root cause analysis and implementation of corrective actions.
  • Simulation and Modeling: Use simulation tools (e.g., EMC Charge Plus or similar) to predict and mitigate EMC issues during the design phase.
  • Training and Mentorship: Provide guidance and training to junior engineers on EMC design principles and best practices.
  • Develop and execute EMC test plans for precompliance and compliance testing, including EMI, ESD, radiated/conducted immunity, and other electromagnetic environmental effects.
  • Set up, operate, and maintain EMC test equipment such as EMI receivers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, LISNs, DC/singlephase/threephase power sources, amplifiers, and comb generators.
  • Interpret and perform EMC test methods including Radiated Emissions, Conducted Emissions, ESD, Radiated Immunity, EFT/Burst, Surge, Conducted Immunity, Magnetic Field Immunity, Voltage Dips/Interrupts, Harmonics, and Flicker.
