Hardware Systems Engineer - EMI Technology

In this role, you will identify, analyze, and mitigate EMI between subsystems to ensure co-existence. You will characterize and debug system-level EMI coexistence and RFI desense issues, leveraging both 3D EM and circuit simulations - spanning frequency and time domains alongside hands-on hardware validation using tools such as near-field scanners, spectrum analyzers, and VNAs. You will model the various subsystems on the system to assess their EMI impact, while developing design guidelines that inform board layout, system architecture, and product bring-up.

Working across multi-functional teams, you will define EM performance requirements and continuously improve design methodologies to ensure robust subsystem coexistence within the system.

Providing design guidelines and support to system architecture design, board layout, product bring up, debug, validation, and factory builds.
