Joining the Marelli Electronics team means becoming a part of something bigger, a place where you can explore your potential, pioneer innovation, develop and deliver Automotive Grade Electronics solutions to address the requirements of today's connected and tomorrow's automated car.

As a global yet fast-evolving company, we're looking for team members who want to grow and evolve with us.

About the Position:

We are looking for a Virtual Simulation Engineer - EMC/EMI, Power Integrity, Signal Integrity & Antenna Simulation to join the Electonics team, reporting directly to the Engineering Display and Virtual Validation Area Leader.

This position is based at our office in Cluj-Napoca.

As the EMC/EMI, Power Integrity, Signal Integrity & Antenna Virtual Simulation Engineer at Marelli, you will be responsible for the virtual electromagnetic validation and optimization of Marelli electronic products, including ECUs, displays, instrument clusters, infotainment systems, domain controllers, onboard computers, telematics control units, connectivity modules, and electronic control systems.

The role ensures that products meet electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic interference, high-speed digital signal quality, power-distribution robustness, and wireless communication performance requirements throughout the complete development lifecycle—from concept and architecture definition to PCB layout, prototype testing, design release, and production launch.

Your Responsibilities will be:

• Perform EMC/EMI simulations to predict conducted and radiated emissions, immunity risks, electromagnetic coupling and common-mode or differential-mode noise.
• Analyze and optimize grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering, cable-shield termination and return-current paths.
• Conduct Power Integrity analyses covering PDN impedance, target impedance, voltage ripple, transient response, switching noise, ground bounce and decoupling strategies.
• Perform Signal Integrity simulations for high-speed interfaces, including Automotive Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LVDS, USB, PCIe, MIPI, DDR and SerDes.
• Evaluate controlled impedance, reflections, crosstalk, insertion and return loss, timing margins, skew and eye-diagram performance.
• Simulate embedded, external and vehicle-integrated antennas for technologies such as GNSS/GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, 5G, UWB, NFC and V2X.
• Assess antenna matching, bandwidth, efficiency, gain, radiation patterns, polarization, isolation, MIMO performance and integration-related detuning.
• Review PCB layouts, stack-ups, copper planes, component placement, connectors, cables, harnesses and enclosures from an electromagnetic perspective.
• Support pre-compliance and compliance testing, analyze laboratory results and correlate physical measurements with simulation predictions.
• Investigate EMC, RF, SI and PI validation failures, identify root causes and define practical corrective actions.
• Develop and improve simulation models, methodologies, design rules, templates and reporting standards.
• Support workflow automation and data analysis using tools such as Python or MATLAB.
• Participate in design reviews, DFMEA, APQP, technical risk assessments, customer reviews and cross-functional problem-solving activities.
• Prepare technical reports and present recommendations to engineering teams, management, suppliers, customers and OEMs.

What Qualifications you will bring:

• Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering with an electronics or RF specialization, or a comparable technical discipline.
• Experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • EMC/EMI engineering and electromagnetic simulation
  • Power Integrity and Power Distribution Network analysis
  • Signal Integrity and high-speed digital design
  • RF engineering and antenna development
  • Electronic product validation
• Automotive electronics experience is strongly preferred, particularly with ECUs, PCBs, displays, infotainment systems, connectivity modules, telematics products, power supplies, high-speed interfaces or automotive harnesses.
• Sound knowledge of electromagnetic theory, emissions and immunity, grounding, shielding, filtering, PCB design, transmission-line behavior, S-parameters, antenna performance and automotive electrical environments.
• Experience correlating simulation results with EMC, RF, SI or PI laboratory measurements is an advantage.
• Familiarity with automotive development and quality methods such as Design Reviews, DFMEA, APQP, PPAP and 8D.
• Knowledge of relevant standards and regulatory frameworks, including CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 7637, ISO 10605 and UNECE R10, is highly desirable.
• Experience with one or more engineering tools such as CST Studio Suite, Ansys HFSS, Ansys SIwave, Siemens/Altair FEKO, Cadence Clarity, Cadence Sigrity, Siemens HyperLynx, Cadence Allegro or LTspice.
• Familiarity with CATIA, Siemens NX, Python, MATLAB, Excel VBA, Power BI or engineering data-management systems is an advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex simulation results into practical engineering recommendations.
• Effective collaboration and communication skills in multidisciplinary and international engineering environments.
• Professional written and spoken English is required.

What does this position offer you:

• Fast-paced yet supportive and high-performing international team with an inspiring ambition to transform the future of mobility.
• Support in onboarding and further training that will set you up with Marelli's speed.
• A hybrid work model, helping you to achieve work-life balance-combining the best of both spending time working remotely, benefitting from focus time, and purposeful co-creation time in the office.
