What does an electromagnetic engineer do?

An Electromagnetic Engineer designs, analyzes, and troubleshoots systems involving electromagnetic fields, such as antennas, radar, wireless communication, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) control. They apply principles of physics and electrical engineering to develop solutions for industries like telecommunications, aerospace, defense, and automotive. Their work often involves simulations, testing, and compliance with industry standards to ensure optimal performance and safety of electromagnetic systems.

What are some typical projects or tasks that an electromagnetic engineer might work on daily?

Electromagnetic Engineers often work on the design, modeling, and testing of components like antennas, sensors, or shielding for electronic devices. Their daily responsibilities can include using simulation software to predict electromagnetic behavior, conducting experiments in lab settings, troubleshooting interference issues, and ensuring that products meet regulatory standards. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—such as mechanical engineers, PCB designers, or project managers—is common, as is preparing technical reports to document findings. These tasks ensure that products perform reliably and safely in real-world electromagnetic environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an electromagnetic engineer?

To thrive as an Electromagnetic Engineer, you need a strong background in physics, electromagnetics, mathematics, and electrical engineering, typically supported by a relevant degree such as a BSEE or MSEE. Familiarity with simulation tools like HFSS, CST, or COMSOL, as well as experience with lab instrumentation and standards compliance (such as FCC or IEEE), is important. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are essential soft skills. These competencies enable you to design, analyze, and troubleshoot complex electromagnetic systems while collaborating effectively and ensuring regulatory compliance.

How much does an electromagnetic engineer make?

The average salary for an electromagnetic engineer in the United States ranges from $70,000 to $120,000 annually, depending on experience, education, and location. Senior roles or those with specialized skills in RF, microwave, or antenna design can earn higher salaries, often exceeding $130,000. Certifications and proficiency with simulation tools like HFSS or CST can also influence compensation.

Overview:
System One is seeking an experienced System Design Engineer to support the design, fabrication, testing, and integration of an electromagnetic (EM) pump for an advanced nuclear energy project. This individual will provide technical ownership of a submersible EM pump operating within a liquid-sodium processing system and coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, and testing personnel.
Responsibilities:
  • Support all aspects of EM Pump design and development.
  • Take ownership and oversight of submersible electromagnetic pump design, fabrication and operation, or its alternative designs.
  • Develop deep understanding of design and modeling behind the current pump design, including thermohydraulic, magnetohydrodynamic, etc. design aspects.
  • Support EM Pump integration into the Processing System steady state and transient thermohydraulic model in Aspen HYSYS Plus.
  • Complete or support analyses, such as thermal, seismic, structural, pipe stress, heat transfer, and/or other analyses performed by others and integrate the results into plant design delivery.
  • Support prototype lab testing of the current pump design and support rapid turnover modifications.
  • Propose and initiate additional testing programs for plant system qualification, as needed.
  • Provide Support and oversight during test execution, evaluation of test results, and reporting of test results.
  • Utilize various codes, including B31.3 and ASME BPVC Sections III and VIII.
  • Perform technical trade studies and decisions to refine pump design.
  • Analyze and allocate regulatory criteria and standards to complex mechanical and process system design.
  • Interface with the design team to create and manage drawing packages to support pump and/or system design.
  • Interface with design disciplines (such as mechanical, instrumentation and controls, civil, and nuclear) to identify and develop plant design information and specify system design and performance criteria.
  • Provide technical direction and oversight of supplier projects, working with the contract administrator to ensure delivery of data and other deliverables, as well as coordination and performance of technical reviews of deliverables.
  • Establish and maintain system requirements and specifications documents, such as Engineering Design Specifications for major pump and supporting equipment.
  • Generate design package for pumps, pump support systems, sub-systems, and equipment designs including coordination of calculations, design reports, mechanical drawings, and engineering design specifications.
  • Develop and review technical design documents, such as System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, Engineering Design Specifications, etc.
  • Interface with and support licensing activities associated with Safety Analysis Reports.
  • Support design reviews as plant system and subsystem designs are established and refined.

Requirements:
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related discipline from an accredited university and 10+ years direct experience with electromagnetic pumps.
  • Demonstrated experience with thermodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, fluids, heat transfer, materials, system controls and mechanics, gas handling and processing.
  • Deep understanding of electromagnetic pumps in liquid metal environments.
  • Expert level experience using COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB.
  • Experience with CFD/FEA on complex components.
  • Ability to run and understand Aspen HYSYS Plus.
  • Experience with piping systems and the ability to read P&IDs.
  • Experience working with suppliers in development and fabrication of safety-related equipment.
