Confidently operate and guide others in the use of oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF preamplifiers, LISNs, transient generators, antennas, and other EMI test equipment needed for test campaigns.
Lead data analysis, identify and document non‑compliances, and drive root‑cause analysis and troubleshooting of EMI/EMC issues in partnership with design, systems, and integration teams.
Recommend and help validate design and mitigation changes (filters, shielding, grounding, cable routing, layout adjustments) to achieve EMI/EMC compliance.
Develop, review, and approve EMI/EMC test procedures, test configurations, and formal test reports, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and configuration control.
Coordinate test readiness reviews, lab readiness activities, and interactions with internal and external test facilities.
Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers and technicians, promoting best practices in EMI testing, lab safety, and effective teamwork.
