• Several years of experience in EMC design, testing, or validation for electronic systems.
• Solid understanding of EMC fundamentals and automotive EMC standards (e.g. CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 7637, IEC 61000‑x).
• Hands-on experience with EMC measurement equipment (spectrum analyzers, LISNs, oscilloscopes, antennas, probes).
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and PCB layouts.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
• Good communication skills in English.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Experience with EMC simulation tools (e.g. HFSS, CST, SIwave, LTspice).
• Knowledge of automotive communication interfaces (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I²C).
• Experience working with external test houses and certification bodies.
• iNARTE or comparable EMC-related certification.

What Makes You Eligible
