Sr. Tempest Design Engineer
A$ A' A' ?Position Overview:
The Senior TEMPEST Design Engineer will be part of the key engineering team that is responsible for design of communications systems to meet TEMPEST requirements.
We design and develop electronic communications products that range from VoIP phones, Computers, Switches, Routers, Video conferencing equipment, etc.
Many of these products are required to pass cryptographic TEMPEST tests.
Tasks in the job position include leading in the equipment design to minimize TEMPEST issues; analysis of requirements; writing of control and test plans; assisting in test setup; design and build of special test equipment; supervising and running tests; and writing test reports.
Analysis and debug may be required if equipment exhibits issues during testing.
Essential
Responsibilities:
Participate in the proposal process for programs with a TEMPEST requirement.
Develop TEMPEST or EMI/EMC design requirements at sub-system and system level.
Perform design and test activities to eliminate EMI & RFI and achieve TEMPEST compliance.
Support both system and sub-system development efforts and design reviews, including sub-system partitioning, packaging, internal and external cable design, grounding, and isolation requirements, CCA layout recommendations, schematic development, trade studies, analysis, and simulation activities.
Recommend and select an EMI/EMC simulation tools and perform simulations to predict CCA-level and system-level TEMPEST performance, and also understand anomalies observed during hardware testing.
Conduct and participate in design reviews.
Contribute to the creation of the TEMPEST Control Plan, Test Plan, Test Procedure, Test Report, Sampling Test Plan, Critical Features List and other applicable documents.
Perform required pre-test setup, Detection System Sensitivity and calibration measurements prior to testing.
Assist in TEMPEST testing activities and participate in TEMPEST related system and sub-system troubleshooting efforts.
Interface with other members of the program engineering team, Govt/NSA TEMPEST experts, and the customer as required.
Interface with external suppliers to upgrade their products for TEMPEST compliance, when necessary.
Provide in-house training seminars and individual mentoring to electrical, mechanical, RF and system engineers, manufacturing personnel, management staff and customers on various aspects of TEMPEST design.
