At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Principal EMI/EMC (Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility) Engineer II to join our engineering team in the space industry. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in ensuring that our space systems, including spacecraft, satellites, and ground support equipment, meet all EMI/EMC requirements and standards. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including design, test, and systems engineering, to develop, analyze, and implement EMI/EMC control strategies that ensure the integrity and performance of our products in the harsh environments of space.

Develop and implement EMI/EMC control plans, including analysis of designs to identify potential interference issues and suggest mitigations.

Provide technical guidance to design teams on EMI/EMC considerations, ensuring that all systems comply with relevant standards and performance requirements.

Plan, coordinate, and conduct EMI/EMC testing for space systems, including preparing test plans, defining test setups, and performing tests in accordance with relevant standards (e.g., MIL-STD-461, DO-160, ECSS).

Utilize simulation tools (e.g., CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS) to model electromagnetic fields and predict potential interference issues at the component, subsystem, and system levels.

Ensure that all products meet regulatory requirements and industry standards for EMI/EMC, including documentation, certification, and reporting to stakeholders.

Investigate and resolve EMI/EMC-related issues, including conducting root cause analysis and developing corrective actions to address non-compliance or performance shortfalls.

Prepare comprehensive reports and technical documentation, including test results, compliance matrices, and design guidelines for internal and external stakeholders.

Lead initiatives to improve EMI/EMC design practices, testing methodologies, and tools to enhance overall product quality and performance.

Mentor and train junior engineers, providing guidance on best practices in EMI/EMC design and testing.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics, Physics, or a related field.

Minimum of 11 years of experience in EMI/EMC engineering, preferably within the space, aerospace, or defense industries.

Deep understanding of EMI/EMC principles, standards, and regulations (e.g., MIL-STD-461, DO-160, ECSS).

Experience with EMI/EMC test equipment and tools (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators, antennas).

Proficiency in electromagnetic simulation software (e.g., CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS, FEKO).

Knowledge of circuit and system-level design for EMI/EMC mitigation, including shielding, filtering, and grounding techniques.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.

Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.

Experience with spacecraft systems, satellites, or launch vehicles.
