    • Power Electronics
    • Mechanical / Thermal Engineering

Design Optimization & Root Cause Analysis

  • Analyze simulation results and correlate with lab testing data
  • Recommend design improvements:
    • Filtering, shielding, and grounding techniques
    • PCB layout and return path optimization
  • Lead root cause analysis of EMI/EMC failures

Certification & Compliance Support

  • Support compliance with global EMC standards:
    • CISPR, IEC, FCC, CE
  • Develop pre-compliance simulation strategies
  • Work closely with certification labs to reduce test iterations

Tools, Methods & Libraries

  • Utilize industry-standard simulation tools:
    • ANSYS HFSS / SIwave / AEDT
    • CST Studio Suite
    • Mentor HyperLynx (SI/PI/EMC)
  • Develop reusable:
    • Simulation models and templates
    • Component, cable harness, and enclosure libraries

Capability Building & CoE Development

  • Define EMI/EMC simulation roadmap and capability maturity
  • Establish internal simulation capability to reduce external dependency
  • Contribute to Electronics CoE capabilities including simulation and design services
  • Mentor engineers and develop technical competency within the team

Stakeholder Management

  • Collaborate with global engineering teams and product lines
  • Interface with external certification agencies and test labs
  • Influence product design decisions through simulation insights

🔹 QUALIFICATIONS

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering (required)
