EMC Technician (Support Technician

The EMC Technician supports a growing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) team that provides testing services to global design groups developing next-generation electronics, including fully electric machines, autonomous systems, controls, sensors, and displays. In this role, you perform hands-on work in an engineering lab, maintain and operate test equipment, execute functional and durability evaluations, and assist with EMC testing projects. You collaborate closely with technicians, engineers, and clients to ensure products meet performance, electrical, environmental, and durability requirements while contributing to the development and validation of advanced electronic systems. Responsibilities

• Support EMC testing projects in the lab by setting up equipment, preparing test configurations, and ensuring all systems are ready for evaluation.
• Run EMC and related tests, including performance, electrical, environmental, and durability evaluations, following established procedures and standards.
• Troubleshoot failures and anomalies found during testing, identifying potential root causes in electrical or mechanical systems and documenting findings.
• Provide regulatory and radio frequency (RF) physics consulting support to clients whenever possible, helping them understand EMC requirements and constraints.
• Document test results clearly and accurately, including test conditions, measurements, observations, and outcomes, to support engineering analysis and reporting.
• Work with senior technicians to plan tests, schedule lab activities, and maintain test equipment according to prescribed maintenance schedules.
• Collaborate with EMC engineers to provide feedback on designs, test setups, and regulatory considerations, helping to ensure products comply with EMC standards.
• Partner with clients to troubleshoot their products during testing, ensuring that test methods realistically cover possible field conditions and usage scenarios.
• Analyze field returns and perform basic functional evaluations and other directed tests to support development and validation activities.
• Log metrics related to testing and equipment usage, ensuring accurate records that support continuous improvement and traceability.
• Ensure test equipment, including electronic lab instruments, remains in good working condition by performing routine checks, basic repairs, and preventive maintenance.
• Integrate effectively with fellow technicians and engineering staff, contributing to a collaborative team environment focused on high-quality testing and validation.
• Support the growth of the EMC team by adapting to increasing testing requirements and assisting with new test capabilities as needed., Dashboard Operations Data Quality Communication User Feedback Customer Service Technical Support Help Desk Support Quality Management Business Valuation Root Cause Analysis Process Improvement Business Requirements Business Intelligence Requirements Analysis Full Stack Development Stakeholder Management New Product Development Artificial Intelligence Requirements Management Business Transformation Business Systems Analysis Continuous Improvement Process Troubleshooting (Problem Solving) Failure Mode And Effects Analysis Advanced Product Quality Planning Design Failure Mode And Effects Analysis Process Failure Mode And Effects Analysis (PFMEA) +0
