Electromagnetic Simulation (Flow Development) Engineer - Eindhoven (hybrid) - Freelance

Electromagnetic Simulation (Flow Development) Engineer

Initial freelance contract till end of 2025 + extensions

Eindhoven, Netherlands (3 days onsite / 2 days remote)

Target domain: Electromagnetic Compatibility Simulation Engineering

Key words: EMC Engineering, Electromagnetic simulation, Radiated/Conducted Emission

Context:

Our client enables secure connections for a smarter world, advancing solutions that make lives easier, better, and safer. As the world leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications, they are driving innovation in the automotive, industrial & IoT, mobile, and communication infrastructure markets. Built on more than 60 years of combined experience and expertise, the company has approximately 29,000 employees in more than 30 countries.

The Analog/RF EMC & Interference department in our Design Enablement organization develops and integrates flows and methodologies for simulating the analog and RF circuits designed by our client worldwide. Additionally, we deploy the knowledge in our new designs by providing consultancy and support to the design teams.

The focus of this position is on electromagnetic simulation aspects and application, and of the electromagnetic interference analysis for New Product Introduction (NPI). The methodology and flow aspects are based on industrial commercial tooling of well-known EDA vendors in the market.

In this job you will assess and analyze the radiated/conducted emission of designs and systems (IP blocks in one die, package, and PCB, antennas and finally the full system). You will enable the prediction and mitigation of interferences between different subsystems and develop simulation methodologies investigating the impact of IC floorplan, on-chip isolation strategies, package and PCB layouts, antennas and performance of the complete system. You will work together with electromagnetic experts in the department, you will be part of the EMC and Interference team and be requested to contribute to other EM simulation, modelling and other interference areas.

Your Responsibilities:

Your key areas of responsibility will be derived from the following elements, based on requirements and customer specifications:

• Collect customer requirements and specifications for EMC & radiated/conducted emission in close cooperation with the requesting design teams.
• Create electrical models using EM simulator of relevant parts of the system (IC, package, PCB, antennas)
• Provide guidelines and recommendations to the design team to reduce electromagnetic radiation.
• Cooperate with EDA vendors (improvement requests, tuning of the flows) in sync with your team.
• Close the loop with measurements, in close collaboration with validation teams.

Additionally, you can also contribute to the following activities:

• Develop / improve flows and methodologies used for electromagnetic radiated emission simulation.
• Develop / maintain a broad knowledge of technical developments in the domain.
• Provide support on EM simulation tools to the design community across our client.
• Contribute with the findings to improve RF designs of the future (Radar, 5G/6G designs, Radio, ).

Your profile:

• Master/Bachelor degree in Electronics engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics and/or an equivalent proficiency in electromagnetic simulation and interference analysis
• Industrial experience is a plus in Analog and RF domain (design, package and PCB)
• Skills in Electromagnetic 2.5 / 3D simulations with available commercial tools
• Knowledge of Cadence Virtuoso OA design environment is highly recommended.
• Familiar with the Analog - RF IC, IC package, PCB and antennas design process in general.
• Knowledge with programming languages (Skill, Phyton, Perl, ) is a plus.
• Excellent communication/presentation skills and team player
• Proficient in communicating and writing technical documentation in English.
• Able to work in a dynamic environment.
