Job Description

Drive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) programs for next-generation wearable devices by managing all phases of test planning, execution, and compliance. As the technical program manager, you’ll blend deep technical understanding of EMC with strong program execution, ensuring robust, regulatory-compliant products while coordinating cross-functional teams across hardware, software, firmware, and test labs.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end project planning, scheduling, and execution of EMC validation for wearable devices, from early development to mass production.
• Coordinate day-to-day activities among hardware, software, firmware engineers, EMC specialists, and external labs to achieve timely and effective compliance.
• Develop and maintain detailed EMC project plans, deliverable trackers, and risk registers; proactively identify, assess, and drive mitigation of EMC-related risks.
• Interface with internal and external stakeholders to report program status, critical issues, and compliance milestones.
• Oversee the preparation and review of test setups, procedures, and documentation in alignment with regulatory (e.g., FCC, CE) and internal requirements.
• Guide engineering teams on best EMC design and troubleshooting practices, leveraging expertise with spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and other test instrumentation.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or related technical field.
• 5+ years of technical program management experience within consumer electronics or related high-volume hardware industries.
• Hands-on expertise with EMC test equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, LISNs, EMI receivers) and EMC troubleshooting methodologies.
• Prior experience leading complex cross-functional programs or projects through early design and into mass production.
• Solid knowledge of global regulatory EMC standards (e.g., FCC, CISPR, EN, IEC) as applied to consumer electronics.
• Demonstrated ability to develop project schedules, manage competing priorities, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience managing external labs and third-party certification processes for market approval.
• Exposure to EMI/EMC design guidelines, board-level mitigation, and root-cause analysis techniques in high-density electronic assemblies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced knowledge of EMC test procedures specific to wearable electronics or miniature, battery-operated devices.
• Familiarity with automated test scripting and data analysis tools (Python, LabVIEW, or similar environments).
• Master’s degree in engineering or related discipline.
