At General Dynamics Land Systems we put our Customers at the centre of everything we do.

Our commitment to protect and enable the people who serve drives us to develop products and systems that give them a clear advantage for mission success. We are looking for passionate individuals to help us deliver innovative, unique solutions to our Customers.
The Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Associate Specialist/Engineer opening is a current vacant position at General Dynamics Land Systems – Canada (GDLS-C). You will be mentored by experts in the industry to identify and assess if electrical and electronic systems function correctly in their intended environments without interfering with other equipment.

Job Description
The Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) role is responsible for ensuring that GDLS-C products meet applicable E3 requirements. As an entry-level position, you will be guided and mentored by technical subject matter experts. Your responsibilities as an E3 team member will include reviewing E3 requirements, collaborating with design engineers during development to ensure compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards, conducting simulations, evaluating supplier and third-party compliance documentation, and developing and presenting E3 design assessments.

Additionally, you will investigate issues to identify and implement risk mitigations.

A key aspect of the E3 role involves E3 testing. This includes witnessing third-party testing, supporting customer testing and planning, as well as executing and reporting on GDLS-C-led vehicle-level E3 testing.
