EMI/EMC Analysis, Design, and Test Engineer Space Exploration Avionics Systems

MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH INC • Houston, TX • 1h ago

MRI Technologies has an exciting opportunity for an EMI/EMC Analysis, Design, and Test Engineer on the JETS II contract at NASA Johnson Space Center. In this role, you will plan, execute, and analyze EMI/EMC tests on spaceflight avionics hardware, ensuring compliance with rigorous NASA and military standards for human-rated deep space exploration systems. You will be embedded with a multidisciplinary team of avionics, power, RF, and mechanical engineers supporting NASA's most ambitious exploration missions.

A typical day involves reviewing circuit schematics and PCB layouts for EMI mitigation opportunities, coordinating test setups in the EMI chamber using spectrum analyzers and RF amplifiers, and collaborating with NASA civil servants to refine test plans and procedures. In the morning you may be analyzing radiated emissions data against MIL-STD-461 limits or preparing a test report for a recent hardware evaluation; in the afternoon you could be participating in a design review, working with mechanical teams on shielding and bonding strategies, or presenting compliance findings to the project team. The work is hands-on, technically rigorous, and directly tied to the safety and success of NASA's crewed deep space exploration program.

What We Are Looking For

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Physics from an accredited institution, with 5-15 years of related experience

Coursework in electromagnetic (EM) fields and/or electronic design

Experience planning, executing, and analyzing EMI/EMC tests on electronic hardware at laboratory and external facilities

Experience contributing to test plans, procedures, and test reports per customer requirements

Knowledge of and ability to apply industry and NASA EMI/EMC standards, including MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464

Ability to support design reviews, risk assessments, and system integration activities across avionics, power, RF, and mechanical disciplines

Excellent communication and organizational skills with the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment

Proficiency with Microsoft Office products (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, OneNote, Outlook)

Preferences:

Master of Science or PhD degree in Engineering or Physics from an accredited institution

Experience with space, military, or commercial EMI/EMC design, test planning, execution, and mitigation

Sound knowledge of EMI/EMC compliance design and testing per MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 for electrical/electronic systems

Hands-on experience with EMI/EMC laboratory test equipment including spectrum analyzers, RF amplifiers, signal generators, EMI receivers, antennas, directional couplers, and power meters

Understanding of RF design, circuit theory, and electromagnetic principles including component and cable shielding, filters, magnetics, microwaves, and antennas

Understanding of key EMC problem areas including radiated emissions, electrostatic discharge (ESD), susceptibility to RF fields, power disturbances, and internal crosstalk

Experience reviewing schematics, PCB layouts, and mechanical designs for electromagnetic design mitigation

Experience with Satellite Space Systems or Spacecraft Vehicle design and test

Experience with filtering, bonding, grounding, and shielding methods for EMI/EMC performance and compliance

Experience with analysis tools such as SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, Mathcad, LabVIEW, and other EMI/EMC simulation and analysis tools

Experience generating EMI/EMC Control and Verification Plans

Previous experience with NASA spaceflight project development

Experience in MIL-STD analysis of EMI testing results of radiated and conducted emissions and susceptibility

Experience in charging analysis of corona effects and plasma effects, including lightning protection and bonding and grounding techniques

Certification as an iNARTE EMC/EMI engineer or similar credential

This positionhas been posted at multiple levels. Depending on your experience and business needs, we may consider candidates at any level for which the position has been advertised.

Benefits and Perks

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, company paid life and disability insurance, paid time off, and 401(k). You'll also enjoy a 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off, when applicable), an onsite cafeteria, and strong career development opportunities working alongside NASA's human spaceflight teams.

Proof of U.S. Citizenship or U.S. Permanent Residency is a requirement for this position. Must be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation.
