About the role
We are seeking a seasoned, hands-on EMC Test Technician to join our EMC team supporting component and module-level EMC/EMI Control validation for automotive electronic systems. This role is foundational to our product quality pipeline — ensuring automotive ECUs meet OEM-specific EMC requirements prior to vehicle integration.
The ideal candidate brings 3-7 years of direct, bench-level EMC testing experience in the automotive sector — with deep, practical fluency in ISO 11452, ISO 7637, and the OEM-specific test specifications governing major vehicle manufacturers. We will consider candidates with equivalent experience from Aerospace (RTCA DO-160 ), Defense (MIL-STD-461), or consumer electronics (IEC 61000 series) environments, provided they can demonstrate substantive knowledge of automotive EMC test methodologies and a credible path to OEM standard fluency. This is a pure individual contributor, bench-level technician role. No direct reports. High ownership. Maximum hands-on impact.
What you would do
TEST EXECUTION & SETUP
- Set up, configure, and operate EMC test equipment for full suites of component and module-level immunity and emissions testing per applicable automotive standards.
- Execute Radiated and Conducted emissions (RE/CE) testing per CISPR 25 and OEM emission specifications.
- Execute Radiated Immunity (RI), Bulk Current Injection (BCI), direct power injection (DPI), and conducted immunity testing per ISO 11452 series.
- Perform transient pulse immunity testing per ISO 7637-2, ISO 16750-2, and OEM equivalent pulse libraries (Pulses 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4, 5a, 5b).
- Execute ESD testing per ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 as required by OEM test specifications.
- Configure, operate, and maintain LISN setups, current probes, injection clamps, CDN networks, and antenna systems.
OEM-SPECIFIC SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE
- Execute and interpret test requirements per Volkswagen (VW) TL 81000 spec, including applicable waveforms, frequency sweeps, monitoring parameters, and pass/fail criteria.
- Maintain working knowledge of current OEM specification revision levels and flag impacted test plans when specification updates are released.
