Senior Research Fellow – Powerline Communication & EMC

About the role

The Aumovio‑NTU Corp Lab is seeking a Senior Research Fellow to lead the development of power‑line communication systems and ensure their electromagnetic compatibility for future urban mobility applications.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of high‑performance transceivers and couplers for vehicular powerlines, collaborating with a Research Engineer.
• Characterize conducted and radiative interference generated by PLC signal transmissions and assess their impact on vehicle systems.
• Implement advanced EMC/EMI mitigation strategies, designing specialized filters or shielding devices to ensure system compatibility.
• Provide technical guidance on EMI characterization to optimise communication protocols in noisy environments.
• Collaborate with researchers to generate and process required PLC waveforms and conduct rigorous EMC/EMI compliance tests.
• Prepare technical reports and present progress to lab stakeholders and industry partners.

Required profile

• PhD in Electrical, Electronics, or Communications Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years post‑doctoral research experience.
• Expertise in EMC/EMI characterization (conducted and radiative) and design of filters and shielding solutions.
• Advanced proficiency with simulation tools such as CST Studio Suite, Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS, or MATLAB.
• Strong background in microwave circuit design, S‑parameter analysis, and high‑frequency circuit modelling.
• Hands‑on experience with VNA, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and RF PCB layout design.
• Familiarity with international automotive EMC standards and a record of publications in high‑impact journals.
