• Solve EMC‑related challenges encountered in projects
• Preparing EMC Transverse Requirements Specifications and Control Plans
• Verifying the design of products and subsystems for EMC compliance
• Preparing and reviewing EMC test specifications and reports
• Conducting EMC tests in labs and on‑site, and delivering associated reports
• Developing and improving EMC guidelines, processes, and tools
• Sharing and spreading EMC/EMI knowledge within the engineering community
