Emc Lab Manager information

What is an EMC Lab manager?

EMC Lab Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the operations of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) laboratories. They ensure that electronic products and systems are tested for compliance with EMC standards and regulations, managing both the technical aspects and daily workflow of the lab. Their duties often include supervising staff, maintaining equipment, developing testing procedures, and ensuring accurate documentation of results. EMC Lab Managers play a critical role in helping companies bring products to market by ensuring they meet required safety and performance standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an EMC Lab manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an EMC Lab Manager, you need expertise in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, strong knowledge of relevant standards (like CISPR, IEC, or FCC), and typically a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with EMC test equipment, data analysis software, and quality management systems such as ISO/IEC 17025 is essential. Leadership, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for managing teams and ensuring accurate test results. These skills ensure regulatory compliance, efficient lab operations, and delivery of high-quality testing services to clients.

What are some common challenges faced by an EMC Lab manager, and how can they be addressed?

EMC Lab Managers often face challenges such as managing multiple concurrent testing projects, ensuring compliance with evolving industry standards, and maintaining specialized equipment. Effective prioritization, clear communication with clients and internal teams, and keeping up-to-date with regulatory requirements are crucial for success in this role. Building a strong, well-trained team and implementing regular equipment calibration schedules can also help address these challenges and ensure the lab operates smoothly.

What is the difference between Emc Lab Manager vs Emc Test Technician?

AspectEmc Lab ManagerEmc Test Technician
CredentialsBachelor's degree in engineering or related field, certifications in EMC testing preferredAssociate's or bachelor's degree in electronics or related field, relevant EMC testing certifications
Work EnvironmentSupervises lab operations, manages staff, oversees testing proceduresPerforms EMC testing, prepares test setups, documents results
Industry UsageUsed in electronics, telecommunications, aerospace industriesCommonly employed in electronics manufacturing, R&D labs

The Emc Lab Manager oversees the entire EMC testing lab, managing staff and ensuring compliance, while the Emc Test Technician focuses on executing tests and preparing reports. Both roles require EMC testing knowledge, but the manager has broader responsibilities including supervision and process management.

Job description

Job Details
New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That's our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers-literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission-your opportunity-is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you're driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you're ready for JPL.
Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.
This unique opportunity is part of the Manufacturing, Packaging, and Test Section that engages in research, technology development, and the creation of advanced mechanical, thermal, propulsion, and electronic packaging systems with expertise that spans the full breath of mechanical disciplines and is applied from architectural concept development through operations.
Reporting to the Group Supervisor of Environmental Test, you will be responsible for maintaining, and certifying several EMC lab facilities at JPL, and also support the EMC engineering team in performing EMC testing on flight hardware and R&TD assignments. This is an on-site position.
Tasks include but are not limited to:
  • Performing EMC testing, including Radiated Emissions, Radiated Susceptibility, Conducted Emissions, and Conducted Susceptibility per MIL-STD-461C/462, MIL-STD-461F/G, as well as JPL unique EMC tests including DC magnetics traceability and power quality testing.
  • Reading and understanding EMC test procedures, independently setting-up EMC tests, performing EMC tests using Tile! software, and understanding and interpreting EMC test results.
  • Performing data processing during and after a test: verifying, reviewing and documenting all pertinent data. Finalizing data and sending to EMC Engineer/customer
  • Lab management and maintenance. Keeping all EMC lab facilities in clean working order, ensuring lab equipment is calibrated and maintained, ability to organize lab space and manage lab inventory and supplies
  • Preforming regular system checks of all RF components across 4 labs testing antennas such as Monopole, Bicon, Log-periodic, Double Rigged Waveguides, etc.
  • Supporting construction of mechanical ground support equipment needed for unique EMC tests and also simple modification of electronics ground support equipment including custom electrical switches and line impedance stabilization networks.

Qualifications:
  • Typically requires a High School Diploma with a minimum of 6 years of related experience; or an Associate's Degree with a minimum of 1 years of related experiences. Related training required.
  • Experience in EMC Testing. Ability to independently perform EMC tests, instrument checkouts and calibration runs per Mil-Std 461C/462 and Mil-Std 461G EMC/EMI testing for emissions, susceptibility/immunity, and magnetics. Tests include Radiated Emissions (RE), Radiated Susceptibility (RS), Conducted Emissions (CE), and Conducted Susceptibility (CS) tests
  • Experience in using the ETS Lindgren Tile! EMC automated software, ability to create and run test profiles.
  • Experience using a variety of Spectrum analyzers (Rohde and Schwarz ESU, FSP38, Keysight UXA), Oscilloscopes (Tektronix and Keysight), Signal generators (Keysight), Network Analyzers (Keysight PXA), Power meters (Keysight), Amplifiers (IFI and AR), antennas

Desired Skills:
