IC EMC Engineer - Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Originally posted 24 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves improving the electromagnetic compatibility of advanced mixed-signal ICs through simulation, test development, and silicon validation.
What you'll do
- Work with IC design teams to optimise RF emissions and immunity performance.
- Perform EMC simulations for new IC, package, and ASIC technologies.
- Develop and execute IC EMC tests for emissions and immunity.
- Conduct measurements in accordance with IEC 61967, IEC 62132, CISPR 32, CISPR 25, and ISO 11452.
- Use EMC test equipment such as TEM cells, stripline fixtures, and immunity surface-scan systems.
- Design EMC evaluation PCBs, including test ICs and supporting circuitry.
- Analyse test results and recommend improvements to product performance.
- Improve EMC design and test methodologies across the product portfolio.
What you'll need
- Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or an equivalent qualification.
- Demonstrated experience in IC EMC, RF EMC, or related EMC validation.
- Proven experience with automotive EMC standards, procedures, and test methods, including ISO 11452 and ISO 16750.
- Strong practical experience conducting EMC measurements and analysing test results.
- Understanding of how electromagnetic interference affects ICs at system level and how IC behaviour can influence overall EMC compliance.
- Experience with PCB schematic capture and PCB design.
- Experience using Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools for test automation and data analysis.
Nice to have
- Knowledge of simulation tools such as ADS and/or HyperLynx.
- Experience with portable consumer products and mixed-signal analogue and digital design.
- Experience with ESD simulators, RF immunity amplifiers, network analysers, spectrum analysers, or GSM testers such as the CMU200.
- Practical SMT hand-soldering experience.
- Experience supporting customers or producing technical documentation.
