Pittsburgh, PA and Peoria, IL would be ideal, but for the right candidate, remote could be possible.

Required Skills:

• Six (6) years of Electromagnetic compatibility testing (Immunity and Emissions)
• Working knowledge of the following Electromagnetic Compatibility testing equipment:
• Three (3) years minimum experience with the operation and the functionality of electrical and control systems of construction and construction equipment

Job Duties:

Indicate what the talent will be doing:

• Lead a team to provide machine-level EMC validation for Caterpillar products
• Coordinate multiple projects with long timelines
• Provide EMC consultation as a trusted adviser to internal clients on RF physics problems as well as EMC regulatory requirements
• Maintain an enterprise viewpoint concerning quality and risk
• Troubleshoot complex problems and provide expert support for EMC technicians and engineers doing the same
• Draw connection between machine-level test results and applicable system and component parts comprising the machine
• Ensure the team maintains: equipment calibration, ISO17025 certification status, quality, velocity, and cost metrics, as well as test availability at test sites across North America
• The Validation Lead Engineer is expected to provide technical leadership and potentially train new staff members as well as clients. Good communication is expected for technical status updates, design reviews, and when working closely with other internal and external teams in multiple geographic locations and organizations. Keeping up with industry and regulatory trends and new technology breakthroughs is essential and requires continuous learning and study.
