• Review supplier test plans and test reports for technical correctness; identify deficiencies and coordinate corrective actions.
• Support project management by contributing to development of work statements, budgets, schedules, and design/review inputs.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines and suppliers to assess changes to equipment, determine impacts on electromagnetic characteristics, and recommend mitigations.
• Develop and implement test automation for aircraft modifications.
• Apply EMI engineering methods to document and resolve complex technical problems.
• Apply conversion, correction, and antenna factors to EMI/EMC analyses and tests.
• Participate on cross-functional teams and present technical results in internal and external reviews.
• Process engineering data into tables, graphs, and deliverables for inclusion in reports.
