RF EMC (Desense) Design Engineer

Engagement type: Agency contractor (yellow badge) Team: Device Connectivity Wireless Design Are you ready to be part of a leading global engineering design house specializing in the design and development of state-of-the-art embedded hardware electronics and electro-mechanics

What were looking for:

Highly motivated professionals

Motivated RF / EMC (Desense) Design Engineer

Professionals with ability to work both with in-house projects and on-site assignments at our customers locations

About the team

The role

As an RF/EMC Engineer you will characterize root-cause and resolve radio desense and electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC) problems on consumer electronic products. You will connect concepts across EMC design desense antenna wireless communication and computational electromagnetics to solve complex novel problems working closely with antenna RF and SI/PI engineers to meet connectivity performance targets on program schedules. You must be responsive flexible detail-oriented and comfortable spending significant time on the bench able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.

Key responsibilities

Characterize root-cause and resolve desense EMI and EMC issues across product programs (Wi-Fi BT/BLE LTE/5G GNSS and other radios).

Perform hands-on bench and lab work: prototype bring-up instrumentation setup near-field/conducted/radiated measurement and debug.

Apply EM concepts to solve desense EMI RF antenna and SI/PI problems in collaboration with antenna and RF engineers.

Perform noise-source identification coupling-path analysis PSD measurement and mitigation design (shielding filtering grounding layout).

Use EM simulation and modeling to predict and resolve interference before and during builds.

Support DFM and high-volume manufacturing by ensuring desense/EMI robustness carries into production.

Support sustaining and field-issue investigations related to desense and EMI.

Help achieve regulatory and performance goals for radio and EMC compliance.

This position may require domestic and international travel.

Basic qualifications

Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 35 years of relevant experience OR a Masters/PhD with 2 years.

Proven track record of solving desense EMI and/or EMC problems on consumer electronic products.

Strong hands-on bench skills comfortable owning lab measurement instrumentation and debug as a primary day-to-day focus.

Strong understanding of EM concepts that help solve desense EMI RF antenna and SI/PI issues.

Expert with EM simulation tools such as CST HFSS and ADS.

Fluency in at least one programming/scripting language (e.g. Python C C) for problem solving and data analysis.

Demonstrated ability to work well within cross-functional teams (PD Rel SI/PI EE).

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred qualifications

PhD in Engineering Technology Science Mathematics or a related quantitative field.

Experience applying optimization or ML techniques (LP/MIP statistics machine learning combinatorial optimization) to EM/wireless design.

Experience with data mining on large datasets.

Experience designing antennas.

Exposure to wireless communication technologies such as LTE/5G GPS/GNSS and mmWave.
