EMC Simulation Engineer

Job title: EMC Simulation Engineer

Location: Coventry

Employment: FTC

Job Summary: The EMC Simulation Engineer will play a pivotal role in the propulsion systems product engineering team by focusing on the development and implementation of virtual simulation models, methods, and processes to avoid electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems early in the product development cycle. This role emphasizes the development of EMC CAE methods and processes to ensure optimal performance and compliance with EMC standards throughout the design and development phases.

Key Responsibilities:

• Simulation and Analysis:
• Develop and implement advanced EMC simulation models using industry-standard software tools.
• Perform comprehensive EMC simulations to identify potential issues early in the product development cycle.
• Analyse simulation results to provide actionable insights and recommendations for design improvements.
• Proactive Design Integration:
• Collaborate closely with design engineers to integrate EMC considerations into the initial design stages.
• Develop and refine simulation methods and processes to predict and mitigate EMC issues before physical prototypes are created.
• Provide technical guidance on EMC best practices and design strategies to ensure compliance with standards.
• Continuous Improvement and Innovation:
• Stay updated with the latest EMC technologies, tools, and methodologies to enhance simulation accuracy and efficiency.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to refine EMC simulation processes and tools.
• Innovate new approaches to EMC simulation that can be integrated into the product development workflow.
• Testing and Validation:
• Support EMC testing activities by validating simulation results through experimental testing and measurements.
• Ensure that simulation models accurately predict real-world EMC performance.
• Assist in the development of EMC test plans and procedures based on simulation findings.
• Documentation and Reporting:
• Prepare detailed technical reports and documentation of simulation results, methodologies, and findings.
• Maintain records of EMC design changes and their impact on system performance.
• Communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders and management effectively and contribute to the CAE community body of knowledge.
