Summary

Location: Fremont, CA
Salary: $140,000.00 USD Annually - $150,000.00 USD Annually
Description: Must-Have Technical / Functional Skills

Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in a lab environment (EMC experience preferred; general automotive electrical testing considered).
EMC Technical Skills: Proficient in operating EMC test equipment such as Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, and Power Meters. Familiar with vehicle EMC test methodologies (Radiated Emissions, Onboard Emissions, Radiated Immunity).
Vehicle Communication Tools: Skilled in CANalyzer or similar tools to interface with vehicle ECUs.
Software Automation: Ability to write and modify test scripts (Bash, Python, or similar) for automation.
Vehicle Expertise: Knowledge of basic electric vehicle architecture; comfortable working in and around vehicles, including mechanical disassembly, harness modifications, fuse replacements, and LV/HV system charging and revival.
Standards Knowledge: Familiarity with automotive EMC standards such as ISO, SAE, and UNECE-R10.

Roles & Responsibilities

Responsible for the hands-on execution of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing at the vehicle level. This includes test planning, physical setup, technical bring-up, and systematic testing of vehicles in both internal and external laboratory environments. The role requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure proper vehicle configuration, operational test infrastructure, and accurate data capture to validate performance against internal specifications and global standards.

Key Responsibilities
1. Vehicle Preparation and Bring-Up

Communicate with vehicle program teams to understand timelines and deliverables; draft test plans and arrange schedules/logistics.
Physically prepare prototype vehicles for EMC testing (install fiber optic converters, current probes, specialized test harnesses).
Ensure vehicle systems are in the correct state for testing (HV battery engaged, communication buses active).
Collaborate with software teams to flash firmware versions and activate test modes for lab sessions.

2. Test Execution & Scripting

Execute test cases for Radiated/Conducted Emissions and Immunity per test plan.
Develop and use automation scripts (Bash, Python, etc.) to control vehicle functions and monitor bus traffic (CAN/LIN/Ethernet).
Maintain detailed logs of configurations, software versions, and hardware revisions for each test run.

3. Lab Operations & Coordination

Perform testing in-house and at external labs to support vehicle-level validation.
Work with external lab technicians to set up vehicles on dynamometers or turntables.
Coordinate scheduling and logistics for vehicle/equipment movement to test facilities.

4. Debugging & Reporting

Conduct troubleshooting when vehicles fail EMC tests; perform module-level swaps or experiments to identify failure modes.
Capture and organize raw test data; provide preliminary analysis to identify trends or anomalies.
Support design teams by verifying hardware fixes (e.g., ferrites, grounding improvements) through quick-look testing.
Collaborate with engineers to resolve EMC test failures via deep-dive experiments at module level.

5. Additional Responsibilities

Maintain in-house test capabilities, including new instrumentation commissioning and calibration.
Support other team responsibilities as needed (component EMC test/debugging, RF performance, LV tests).
Apply familiarity with vehicle EMC simulation and modeling tools (ANSYS, CST, or similar).

Generic Managerial Skills

Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and external partners.
Skilled in planning, scheduling, and coordinating complex technical projects.
