EMI / EMC Engineer

At Emerson, we are seeking an EMI / EMC Engineer to help ensure our electrical and electronic products meet global Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements, customer expectations, and regulatory standards. In this role, you will provide EMC design guidance throughout the product development lifecycle, support testing and certification activities, troubleshoot compliance challenges, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams. You will also contribute to broader Hardware Design Verification Testing (DVT), including signal integrity, power delivery, and functional performance validation of advanced electronic systems.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Develop and implement EMC/EMI compliance strategies for new products. Support product development teams with EMC design reviews and best practices. Apply Design for Compliance principles: Review schematic diagrams, PCB layouts (stackups, ground planes, high-speed traces), and mechanical enclosure designs early in the R&D cycle to prevent EMI/EMC issues.
• Support the Design Verification Team in terms of EMI / EMC pre-compliance testing. Maintain and evolve our on-site pre-compliance laboratory with respect to instruments, capabilities, processes and automation. Conduct on-site pre-compliance EMI / EMC campaigns.
• Prepare EMC test plans, reports, and technical documentation. Prepare test setups and Devices under Test (Prototypes). Coordinate testing with accredited external laboratories and oversee official certification testing.
• Analyze EMC test failures and perform root cause analysis. Recommend and implement corrective actions to achieve compliance.
• Ensure compliance with international standards such as: IEC 61000 series, CISPR standards, EN 55032 / EN 55035, FCC Part 15, MIL-STD-461 (where applicable), also automotive standards (ISO 11452, CISPR 25, UNECE R10) where applicable.
• Perform bench testing on high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, USB, CAN, RS-485) and power rails (ripple, load transient response, power-on sequencing etc.). Assist hardware engineers during initial prototype board bring-up and functional verification. Conduct design validation across extreme conditions (e.g. temperature / voltage corner testing).
• Support CE, UKCA, FCC, and other regulatory certification processes. Maintain awareness of evolving EMC regulations and standards. 
• Support customer audits and regulatory inspections when required.

Who You Are:

You anticipate and balance the needs of multiple stakeholders while focusing on achieving sustainable outcomes. You analyze complex situations, identify root causes, and make sound decisions based on data and technical evidence. You collaborate effectively across functions, building partnerships that help achieve shared goals. You continuously seek opportunities to improve processes, expand your expertise, and drive technical excellence.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in EMC/EMI engineering, product compliance, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong knowledge of electromagnetic theory, EMC principles, and compliance methodologies.
• Hands-On Experience using EMC test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, EMI receivers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, current probes, LISNs, near-field probes.
• Experience planning, coordinating, and supporting EMC testing with accredited laboratories.
• Knowledge of international EMC regulations and certification requirements with the ability to interpret and apply standards during product development.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to communicate effectively with global teams, customers, certification bodies, and external partners.
• Professional proficiency in English, both written and verbal.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart:

• Experience supporting products within the automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, or medical technology sectors.
• Understanding of x86 and/or ARM-based computing architectures.
• Knowledge of CE, UKCA, FCC, and related product certification processes.
• Familiarity with Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), or EMC simulation tools.
• Knowledge of electrical safety standards such as IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1.
• Awareness of functional safety standards, including ISO 26262 and IEC 61508.
• German language skills.
