Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Automotive

Were a global multi-disciplinary team thats putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. At HARMAN Automotive we give you the keys to fast-track your career.

• Engineer audio systems and integrated technology platforms that augment the driving experience

• Combine ingenuity in-depth research and a spirit of collaboration with design and engineering excellence

• Advance in-vehicle infotainment safety efficiency and enjoyment

About the Role

We are hiring a Principal EMI/EMC Simulation Engineer to build and lead an enterprise-grade virtual EMI/EMC capability that meaningfully reduces reliance on late-stage physical chamber design validation and accelerates first-time pass for complex automotive electronics. You will define the workflows modeling standards correlation methodology and toolchains to deliver predictive CE/RE/BCI/RI outcomes with engineering-grade confidence. This role requires deep physics knowledge pragmatic simplification skills and strong cross-functional leadership across EE design mechanical systems firmware test labs and suppliers.

What You Will Do

• Own the virtual EMI/EMC roadmap: define the modeling architecture and V3 workflows for Conducted Emissions (CE) Radiated Emissions (RE) Conducted Immunity (BCI) and Radiated Immunity (RI) across product lines.
• Build a scalable hybrid simulation workflow: partition problems across quasi-static extraction PEEC/MTL cable modeling full-wave 3D EM and circuit co-simulation choosing the right physics fidelity per frequency band and geometry scale.
• Translate software operating modes into EM-realistic sources: develop mode libraries and convert them into calibrated per-rail current spectra/time waveforms and switching-node stimuli.
• Lead correlation and validation campaigns: design correlation experiments and quantify model accuracy and establish acceptance criteria and model governance.
• Establish cross-SBU modeling standards: mesh guidelines uncertainty budgets parameter sweeps/DOE Monte Carlo plans; document best practices and train the broader team.
• Provide actionable EMC guidance during architecture schematic layout and mechanical integration to prevent issues before prototype builds.
• Drive toolchain integration and automation in PLM manage compute strategy.
• Partner with test labs and suppliers: align virtual models with real fixtures; ensure vendor component models are fit for simulation.

What You Need to Be Successful

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 5 years of professional experience in simulation engineering with at least 3 years in EMI/EMC simulations for automotive electronics.
• Deep EM fundamentals: expert-level understanding of Maxwell-based EM and when to use full-wave vs special cases including coupling mechanisms CM/DM conversion resonance radiation and shielding effectiveness.
• Demonstrated track record of leading technical projects preferably in regulated industries such as automotive aerospace or healthcare.
• Experience working in cross-functional and global teams driving alignment between technical and business objectives.
• Tool proficiency with at least one major stack: Ansys AEDT or Siemens EDA
• Solid understanding of automotive development processes and standards e.g. CISPR 25 ISO 11452 ASPICE.
• Good leadership and communication skills: ability to guide teams engage with executives and translate technical concepts into business value.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Experience simulating EMC at system/vehicle level (harness networks multi-module coupling) and deploying design-to-validation workflows in production organizations.
• Expertise in nonlinear EMC phenomena and co-simulation: TVS/ESD behavior ferrite saturation SMPS mode transitions and mapping induced disturbances to software-defined functional criteria.
• Experience building model libraries (connectors CMCs ferrites absorbers) and post-processing tools that emulate compliance receivers (RBW/VBW detectors).
• HPC/GPU acceleration experience for EM workloads and best practices for model version control automation and traceability

What Makes You Eligible

• Fluency in English language both spoken and written.
• Willingness to travel domestic and international on a need basis (20%).
• Willingness to relocate to your primary office location.

What We Offer

• Flexible work environment allowing for full-time remote work globally for positions that can be performed outside a HARMAN or customer location
• Access to employee discounts on world-class Harman and Samsung products (JBL HARMAN Kardon AKG etc.)
• Extensive training opportunities through our own HARMAN University
• Competitive wellness benefits
• Tuition reimbursement
• Be Brilliant employee recognition and rewards program
• An inclusive and diverse work environment that fosters and encourages professional and personal development
