High Voltage Power Electronics EMC Technical Specialist

About the role

General Motors is seeking a Power Electronics EMC Technical Specialist to lead electromagnetic compatibility engineering for Power Electronics & Traction Inverter hardware. The role applies knowledge of electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic susceptibility, signal and power integrity, high-voltage power electronics, and vehicle-level electrical integration to guide designs from concept through production.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role based at the GM Global Technical Center — Estes Engineering Center.

Responsibilities

• Define and lead EMC design strategies for Power Electronics & Traction Inverters, including requirements decomposition, risk assessment, design development, peer reviews, and validation planning.
• Define design best practices to mitigate system-level interactions between component EMC performance and vehicle-level EMC requirements.
• Develop and apply electromagnetic models and analysis methods to predict coupling paths, resonances, common-mode and differential-mode behavior, shielding effectiveness, grounding performance, and conducted and radiated emissions at component and vehicle levels.
• Guide hardware design decisions involving power modules, busbars, laminated interconnects, gate-drive circuits, printed circuit boards, enclosures, filters, shielding, grounding, cables, and connectors.
• Lead EMC mitigation activities across the design lifecycle, balancing electrical and thermal performance, packaging, manufacturability, reliability, cost, and timing.
• Develop an EMC load box and EMC test plan per GMW3097.
• Schedule, execute, and document…
