About the role

As part of Google's Platforms Infrastructure Engineering, the EMC Test Engineer ensures hardware platforms comply with global EMC/EMI standards throughout the development lifecycle, from verification to certification and sustaining. The role focuses on test planning, lab bring-up, root-cause analysis, and designing mitigations to enable on-time hardware releases.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute full test plans (radiated/conducted emissions, immunity, ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) for NPI hardware in internal and external labs.
  • Lead offline bring-up for Equipment Under Test (EUTs), coordinating with firmware and lab teams to deploy custom workloads for off-network validation.
  • Perform root-cause analysis on compliance failures and provide actionable design recommendations (shielding, layout, grounding).
  • Drive EMC/ESD qualification for sensitive high-speed components (e.g., optical modules) to act as a critical release gate.
  • Serve as a technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) to ensure "compliance-by-design" while expanding lab capabilities and authoring Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs).

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience working in a hardware testing environment.
  • 2 years of experience in hardware compliance, EMC/EMI testing, or hardware validation.
  • Experience developing and executing comprehensive EMC/EMI test plans (including radiated/conducted emissions, immunity, and ESD).
