EMC Technologies – Melbourne branch

EMC Engineer EMC/EMR Testing and Assessments – Trainee

EMC Technologies is the largest and most NATA accredited EMC, EMR, SAR and Safety testing laboratory in Australia and New Zealand. We require an engineering graduate/near-graduate with formal studies in RF/electromagnetic theory to perform EMC and wireless/radio testing as well as the review of customer’s technical documentation for regulatory compliance purposes.

Initially, you will be trained to assess customer’s technical documents in support of their product’s compliance with Australian and International EMC and EMR standards and regulations. Much of this work is carried out within our NATA scope of accreditation to ISO 17025 and ISO 17020.

You will then advance to work involving testing to Australian and international EMC/RF standards using sophisticated instruments and facilities. New and imported products are tested for compliance with Australian and international regulations such as RCM ( formerly C-tick & A-tick), CE marking and FCC rules using spectrum analysers, EMI receivers, RF amplifiers, specialist EMC test equipment, anechoic chambers and CISPR Open Area Test Sites. Most work including RF testing and calibration is carried out in accordance with NATA accreditation to ISO 17025 (Testing and calibration). You will be working with engineers (customers) to test their products and their new designs so that EMC compliance is achieved.

This position offers an interesting career which could open up opportunities all over the world.

Training can be provided for the suitable applicant, but a knowledge of RF and electromagnetic theory will give you an advantage.

A driver’s licence is required as the position may involve travel to customer’s premises locally or interstate. Shift work and overtime (allowances paid) may also be required.

You should have, or be nearing completion of an electronics or similar engineering degree or diploma. You must have a sound knowledge of general electrical and RF theory and practice, plus the ability to use electrical/electronic test equipment.

The successful applicant must have:

• A good command of English, written and oral. A test may be given if an IELTS certificate is not provided.
• The ability to prepare and assess detailed technical reports
• Good computer skills including Microsoft Office
• A strong customer focus and the ability to work and liaise closely with customers on a continual basis.
