Senior Signal Integrity and EMC Engineer

Foster City, CARemoteFull-time

AI Summary

A Senior Signal Integrity and EMC Engineer leads end-to-end strategy, requirements, and validation for vehicle-level signal integrity, RF/wireless performance, and EMC in autonomous vehicle systems.

About this role

Zoox is looking for a Senior Signal Integrity and EMC Engineer to ensure the electrical reliability, signal fidelity, and compliance of our complex autonomous vehicle systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end strategy for vehicle-level signal integrity, RF/wireless performance, and EMC. You will work within a multi-disciplinary engineering team to set rigorous requirements and ensure best practices are implemented from concept to production. You will serve as the domain expert on a variety of high-speed digital and RF design topics that bring our hardware to life safely and reliably.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead the development, implementation, and validation of vehicle-level signal integrity, grounding, and shielding strategies. Maintain rigorous technical requirements and EMC specifications applied across all electrical and electronic systems on all vehicle platforms.
  • Define and maintain vehicle-level RF performance requirements, establishing specifications for all transmitters, receivers, and antenna systems to mitigate the electromagnetic impacts of physical vehicle installation on wireless communication.
  • Perform and/or oversee signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) simulations and analysis for critical high-speed interfaces and power distribution networks. Simulate RF performance of all antennas, transmitters, and receivers as installed in a vehicle during the vehicle design phase to drive integration alignment.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional design teams to ensure best practices for signal integrity, RF design, and EMC are implemented. Lead design reviews to identify and remediate vulnerabilities early to meet project milestones.
  • Develop and execute validation plans for vehicle-level signal integrity, RF/wireless performance, and EMC, including radiated and conducted emissions/immunity. Troubleshoot and resolve complex signal integrity, RF, and EMC issues discovered during design, validation, and in-fleet operation.
  • Stay current with emerging automotive technologies, wireless protocols, and high-speed communication standards, actively leveraging industry specifications when establishing internal requirements.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's of Science in Electrical Engineering with Electronics Design, Electromagnetics, or RF/Wireless-related coursework.
  • 10+ years of experience in signal integrity, RF design, and/or EMC validation of electronic components and systems.
  • Understanding of CISPR, ISO, SAE, FCC, and UNECE EMC standards and regulations.
  • Proficiency utilizing essential test and measurement equipment, such as Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, and high-bandwidth Oscilloscopes.
  • Experience with high-speed digital electronics design, schematic capture, and PCB layout best practices.

    • Bonus Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with automotive signal integrity and EMC validation and countermeasures.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard SI/PI and EM simulation tools
  • Familiarity with automotive high-speed protocols and wireless technologies
