Electrical Engineer - EMI/EMC (Mid-Senior Level) Mid-Senior Level | Active Top Secret Clearance Required | $100,000 - $140,000 | Travel: As Required | Onsite: Boulder, CO Design the electrical systems of the future-leading EMI/EMC architecture, modeling, and validation efforts to ensure next-generation space, air, and ground systems perform reliably in the most demanding electromagnetic environments. A Day in the Life - What you'll do * Lead EMI/EMC design and compliance strategy for spacecraft subsystems and assembly-level hardware. * Define electromagnetic compatibility architectures, grounding schemes, shielding approaches, and filtering strategies across complex systems. * Perform requirements decomposition, allocation, and traceability from system-level EMI/EMC requirements to subsystem and component specifications. * Conduct electromagnetic modeling and simulation using Ansys HFSS to predict coupling, interference, and system-level performance. * Execute trade studies to optimize EMI/EMC design solutions across size, weight, power, and performance constraints. * Support conceptual design and detailed development of electrical subsystems with a focus on EMI/EMC robustness. * Collaborate with hardware, systems, and integration teams to ensure EMI/EMC considerations are incorporated early in the design lifecycle. * Develop and review schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), and electrical design artifacts with EMI/EMC best practices. * Support and oversee environmental and EMC testing, including test planning, execution, and anomaly resolution. * Analyze test data, document exceedances, and generate detailed compliance and certification reports. * Drive mitigation strategies for EMI/EMC risks, including grounding, bonding, shielding, and filtering solutions. * Participate across the full engineering lifecycle-from concept development through integration, test, and system delivery. * Maintain strong collaboration across cross-functional teams supporting mission-critical programs. Required Qualifications * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM discipline from an accredited institution with 5+ years of experience, or Master's degree with 3+ years of experience, or 7+ years of experience in lieu of a degree * Active Top Secret security clearance with ability to obtain SCI * Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles and electromagnetic theory * Demonstrated experience in EMI/EMC design, analysis, and compliance for electronic systems * Proficiency with electromagnetic simulation tools, including Ansys HFSS * Experience with requirements decomposition, system-level flow-down, and technical allocation * Extensive knowledge of grounding, bonding, shielding, and filtering techniques for EMI/EMC control * Experience supporting hardware development, integration, and EMC test activities * Ability to analyze and interpret EMI/EMC test data and develop corrective actions * Strong communication and technical documentation skills * Ability to work effectively in collaborative, cross-functional engineering environments Preferred Qualifications * Experience with space, aerospace, or defense systems operating in harsh electromagnetic environments * Familiarity with EMI/EMC standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-462, MIL-STD-1541, and SMC-S-016 * Experience with electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) including radiation and Total Ionizing Dose (TID) * Knowledge of circuit design, interface control, and hardware-level specifications * Experience with reliability analysis methods such as FMECA and Worst Case Analysis (WCA) * Experience with FPGA-based systems and associated EMI/EMC considerations * Familiarity with system-level modeling and simulation for EMI/EMC validation * Strong presentation skills with ability to communicate complex technical concepts * Experience supporting cleanroom, lab, and production environments Who is Caribou Thunder?
