   • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate EMC/EMI considerations into the design phase of spacecraft systems and subsystems.

   • Review and analyze design documents, schematics, and layout plans to identify potential EMC/EMI issues.

1. Testing and Validation:

   • Develop and implement comprehensive EMC/EMI test plans and procedures for spacecraft systems.

   • Conduct EMC/EMI testing, including pre-compliance and compliance testing.

   • Analyze test data, identify non-conformities, and recommend corrective actions to resolve EMC/EMI issues.

1. Standards and technological watch:

   • Ensure all designs and test procedures comply with relevant EMC/EMI standards

   • Stay updated with the latest developments in EMC/EMI standards and incorporate them into design and testing processes.

1. Documentation and Reporting:

   • Prepare detailed technical reports, test summaries, and design documentation related to EMC/EMI activities.

   • Maintain accurate records of all test results, design recommendations, and corrective actions.

1. Collaboration and Support:

   • Work closely with system engineers, hardware designers, and other stakeholders to address EMC/EMI challenges throughout the product development lifecycle.

   • Provide technical support and training to engineering teams on EMC/EMI best practices and mitigation techniques.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in EMC/EMI engineering, preferably in the aerospace or defense industry.

• Strong knowledge of EMC/EMI principles, test methods, and mitigation techniques.

• Experience with EMC/EMI standards, such as MIL-STD-461, CISPR, and DO-160.

• Proficiency in using EMC/EMI testing equipment, including spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and EMI receivers.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with spacecraft systems and subsystems.

• Knowledge of signal integrity and power integrity as they relate to EMC/EMI.

• Experience with simulation tools for EMC/EMI analysis.
