Job description:
About the Role
EMA is looking for a Saber Power Systems & Harness Simulation Engineer to help build, demonstrate, and support advanced workflows that connect cable and harness design with power-system circuit simulation, power quality analysis, and EMI/EMC verification.
This role is ideal for an engineer who has hands-on experience with Synopsys Saber, SaberRD, and/or SaberES Designer, and who understands both wiring harness design and the circuit behavior of real electrical power systems. We are especially interested in candidates who can model sources, loads, converters, batteries, actuators, motors, sensors, and harness interconnects in Saber, then use those models to evaluate voltage drop, over-current behavior, switching transients, conducted EMI, coupling, crosstalk, grounding, shielding, and power quality issues.
The successful candidate will help EMA connect harness design, 3D cable modeling, electromagnetic simulation, and Saber circuit/system simulation into a more complete workflow for customers in automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, and electrified systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain Saber-based circuit and system models for electrical power systems, including power distribution networks, batteries, DC/DC converters, inverters, loads, motors, actuators, and embedded electronic devices.
- Use SaberRD and/or SaberES Designer to model harness-connected power systems, including source/load behavior, wire and cable impedance, voltage drop, over-current behavior, inrush, switching transients, and power quality effects.
- Help define workflows that connect Saber harness and circuit models with EMA’s EMC Plus and Ansys Discovery-based 3D cable modeling and electromagnetic simulation capabilities.
- Translate cable and harness physics, including resistance, inductance, capacitance, shielding, grounding, crosstalk, and coupling effects, into usable circuit/system models for Saber simulation.
- Support EMI/EMC-focused analysis of power systems, including conducted emissions, common-mode currents, switching noise propagation, cable coupling, shielding effectiveness, and grounding/bonding behavior.
- Create customer-ready demonstrations showing how Saber, EMC Plus, and Discovery can support cable design, power-system simulation, power quality analysis, and final EMC verification.
- Work with R&D, product management, and application engineering teams to define requirements for deeper interoperability between Saber and EMC Plus.
- Review customer harness designs, schematics, power architecture diagrams, and simulation requirements to recommend modeling approaches and analysis workflows.
- Support sales and customer-facing technical discussions by explaining how circuit simulation, harness modeling, and EMC analysis work together.
- Document best practices, workflows, example models, training material, and validation cases for internal and customer use.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 3 years of relevant experience.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Hands-on experience with Synopsys Saber, SaberRD, SaberES Designer, or closely related circuit/system simulation tools.
- Experience designing, analyzing, or simulating electrical wiring harnesses or power distribution systems.
- Strong understanding of circuit modeling for real power systems, including sources, loads, converters, protection devices, connectors, wire/cable impedance, grounding, and return paths.
- Experience with power quality issues such as voltage drop, ripple, transients, inrush current, load switching, brownout behavior, over-current events, and fuse/protection coordination.
- Working knowledge of EMI/EMC issues related to power systems, including conducted emissions, switching noise, common-mode and differential-mode currents, cable coupling, shielding, grounding, and crosstalk.
- Ability to interpret electrical schematics, harness drawings, wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, and system architecture diagrams.
- Ability to communicate complex simulation and modeling concepts clearly to engineering, sales, and customer audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
- 6 or more years of relevant experience.
- Experience with Saber MAST, VHDL-AMS, SPICE, Simulink, Twin Builder, Simplorer, PSpice, LTspice, or other multi-domain/circuit simulation environments.
- Experience with automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, heavy equipment, EV, battery, or electrified-system applications.
- Familiarity with EMC/EMI standards or test methods such as CISPR 25, ISO 7637, ISO 11452, IEC 61000, DO-160, MIL-STD-461, or related customer-specific requirements.
- Experience with harness data formats and workflows such as KBL, VEC, DSI, CATIA, Creo, Siemens Capital Harness, Zuken E3, or other ECAD/MCAD harness tools.
- Experience modeling or extracting cable parasitics, transmission-line effects, impedance matrices, or coupling parameters for use in circuit simulation.
- Experience validating simulation results against lab measurements, bench tests, EMC tests, or vehicle/system-level test data.
- Scripting or automation experience using Python, MATLAB, Tcl, JavaScript, or similar tools.
- Experience creating customer demonstrations, application notes, training material, or technical sales collateral.
