Senior Signal Integrity and EMC Engineer

The role

You will own the strategy for vehicle-level signal integrity, RF/wireless performance and EMC on autonomous vehicle systems. You will set requirements, lead design reviews and act as the domain expert on high-speed digital and RF design.

What you will do

• Lead the development, implementation and validation of vehicle-level signal integrity, grounding and shielding strategies.
• Define and maintain vehicle-level RF performance requirements for transmitters, receivers and antenna systems.
• Perform or oversee SI/PI simulations for critical high-speed interfaces and power distribution networks.
• Simulate RF performance of antennas, transmitters and receivers as installed in a vehicle during design.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and lead design reviews to find and fix vulnerabilities early.
• Develop and execute validation plans for SI, RF/wireless performance and EMC, including radiated and conducted emissions and immunity.
• Troubleshoot complex SI, RF and EMC issues found in design, validation and in-fleet operation.
• Stay current with automotive technologies, wireless protocols and high-speed communication standards.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with Electronics Design, Electromagnetics or RF/Wireless coursework.
• 10+ years of experience in signal integrity, RF design and/or EMC validation of electronic components and systems.
• Understanding of CISPR, ISO, SAE, FCC and UNECE EMC standards and regulations.
• Proficiency with network analyzers, spectrum analyzers and high-bandwidth oscilloscopes.
• Experience with high-speed digital electronics design, schematic capture and PCB layout best practices.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with automotive signal integrity and EMC validation and countermeasures.
• Proficiency with industry-standard SI/PI and EM simulation tools.
• Familiarity with automotive high-speed protocols and wireless technologies.
