Job Description

We are seeking an EMC Engineer that will focus on solving complex electromagnetic compatibility and interference challenges for mission-critical electrical and electronic systems used in nuclear and highly regulated environments. This is not a checkbox testing role — it requires critical thinking, strong documentation discipline, and the ability to adapt test strategies to real-world systems. Engineers in this role are trusted technical representatives who work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure systems meet stringent performance and compliance requirements.

Core responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute EMC / EMI test plans for complex electrical and electronic systems, adapting established methods to unique system configurations and customer requirements
  • Perform a wide range of EMC qualification testing in laboratory environments, including emissions, immunity, surge, ESD, and RF susceptibility testing
  • Operate and interpret data from advanced test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, EMI receivers, and related instrumentation
  • Analyze test results, identify non-compliance issues, and support troubleshooting efforts to determine root causes and recommend corrective actions
  • Produce clear, detailed technical reports and documentation aligned with quality assurance and regulatory standards
  • Support on-site testing and field diagnostics at customer facilities as needed, including measurements, surveys, and system verification activities
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, technicians, and project stakeholders to ensure high technical quality and consistent execution

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline
  • 3–7+ years of experience in EMC engineering, test engineering, or related technical roles
  • Working knowledge of EMC testing standards and methodologies (e.g., MIL-STD-461, IEC 61000 series, or similar)
  • Experience operating common EMC test equipment and producing formal test documentation
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply sound engineering judgment in ambiguous situations
  • High attention to detail, particularly in test planning, data interpretation, and report writing
  • Professional communication skills and a customer-focused mindset
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to support on-site testing and troubleshooting
  • U.S. citizenship required due to facility access and regulatory requirements

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting testing or engineering efforts in regulated industries such as nuclear, aerospace, defense, automotive, or industrial systems
  • Familiarity with lab operations, systems integration, or qualification testing environments
  • EMC-related certifications (e.g., iNARTE) or willingness to pursue certification
  • Comfort working in multidisciplinary engineering teams and research-driven environments

Benefits

  • Competitive annual salary with annual performance reviews
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
  • Four weeks of paid time off plus paid holidays
  • Ongoing professional development through mentorship, training, and exposure to advanced engineering challenges
  • Long-term growth opportunities within a technically rigorous, mission-driven organization

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
