Test Technician (EMC/EMI) - Zobility

The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) team is hands on with every hardware project, from circuit to system. You will know our products inside and out and drive our vehicles to be the safest most reliable EVs on the road. Since our systems hardware and software is complex, we rely on testing to validate the EMC design performance in emulated and real-world electromagnetic environments.

This is what you'll do:

• You'll be setting up and executing all component, module, and vehicle-level EMC Tests.
• You'll be responsible for lab equipment and test setups, making sure we are meeting our internal EMC test specs.
• You'll be tracking and auditing equipment calibration and repair.
• You will help design and build a world-class EMC Vehicle and Component Lab at Rivian.

COLLABORATE WITH:

• Electronics unit and systems design responsible engineers, test software engineers, and other electrical test technicians. This will require good oral and written communication skill and good working rapport with engineers and techs from other domains.

ESCALATE AND REPORT:

• We move quickly through hardware design and test iterations. We identify and report on status and any found test issues in real-time.
• Keep precise documentation of setups and results; Familiarity with typical industry-standard documentation and quality practices is preferred.

This is what you'll need:

• Minimum 10 years hands-on experience executing EMI/EMC/RF tests. Expertise setting up, performing, and debugging EMI tests derived from Commercial and Automotive Standards [IEC 61000, CISPR 25, CISPR 12, CISPR -16, ISO 11452-x, ISO 7637-x, FCC Part 15, UNECE Reg 10]
• Expertise in configuring and operating electrical/RF test equipment, including Antennas, Current and Voltage Probes, Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, Vector Network Analyzers, Signal Generators, RF amplifiers, milli- and Mega-ohmmeters.
• Attention to detail, able to follow detailed test documentation including test procedures/plans/reports and identify/resolve inconsistencies.
• Familiarity with commercial or military aircraft avionics components and installations, including shielded units, EGSE racks, and shielded wiring harnesses
• Demonstrated aptitude developing custom EMI test profiles using TILE!, Python (PyVISA), or equivalent test automation software.
• Ability to organize, maintain, calibrate, and repair electrical/RF test equipment.
• Adaptability, with the ability to think outside the box to solve problems and drive to successful completion of the test evolution.
