About the role
Job Description The Role General Motors is seeking a Power Electronics EMC Technical Specialist to lead electromagnetic compatibility engineering for Power Electronics & Traction Inverter hardware. The successful candidate will apply advanced knowledge of electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic susceptibility, signal and power integrity, high-voltage power electronics, and vehicle-level electrical integration to guide robust designs from concept through production. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. The specialist will influence architecture and design decisions, develop practical mitigation strategies, lead root-cause investigations, and partner with internal engineering teams, suppliers, test organizations, and program leadership. The role is hybrid and based at the GM Global Technical Center — Estes Engineering Center. What You’ll Do • 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, both at the component level & at the vehicle level • Guide Power Electronics & Traction Inverter 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 performance, thermal performance, packaging, manufacturability, reliability, cost, and timing. • Responsible for development of EMC load box and EMC test plan per GMW3097. • Schedule, execute, and document traction inverter EMC testing. Lead PRTS closure through structured root-cause investigations for electromagnetic interference and susceptibility issues, using measurement data, simulation, design-of-experiments, and engineering judgment. • Establish technical countermeasures and confirm effectiveness through focused testing and correlation between models, bench results, dynamometer testing, and vehicle testing. • Develop and maintain EMC operating-mode tracker covering charging, driving, V2L/V2G, AC/DC charging, inverter operation, and simultaneous APM/OBCM operation. Support EMC debugging for combined operation • Partner with Power Electronics & Traction Inverter design release engineering, controls and software, electrical architecture, vehicle integration, validation, reliability, manufacturing, purchasing, and supplier engineering teams. • Analyze grounding, shielding, cable routing and connector locations. Resolve vehicle-to-vehicle EMC variation. • Provide technical direction to suppliers and evaluate supplier EMC capability, analysis methods, test plans, design evidence, and corrective actions. • Review and approve EMC-related requirements, specifications, EMC test plan, EMC load box, drawings, analysis reports, test procedures, test reports, and design changes. • Create reusable EMC guidelines, checklists, modeling practices, and lessons learned for future Power Electronics & Traction Inverter programs. • PRTS ownership of EMC non-compliance related to OBCM component and AC charging system. Lead OBCM troubleshooting/scheduling plan with vehicle EMC team. Communicate technical risks, decisions, trade-offs, and recommendations to engineering and program leadership. • Mentor engineers and raise the organization’s capability in
