Design for EMC: Lead EMI/EMC design across PCB layout, enclosure design, filtering, shielding, cable design, and bonding/grounding schemes.

Requirements Definition: Interpret customer E3 requirements and flow down MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 requirements to subsystems and suppliers.

E3 Control Planning: Author and maintain E3 control plans, EMI test plans and procedures (EMITP), and EMI test reports.

Analysis & Simulation: Perform EMI/EMC analysis and electromagnetic simulation to identify and mitigate coupling, emissions, and susceptibility risks early in design.

Pre-Compliance Testing: Plan and conduct pre-compliance scans and troubleshooting in-house to reduce risk prior to formal qualification.

Qualification Support: Support formal EMI/EMC qualification testing at internal and external labs and lead failure investigations and fixes.

Design Reviews: Review schematics, layouts, and harness designs for EMC compliance and present E3 status at design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR).

Customer Interface: Serve as the technical point of contact with customers on E3 requirements, test results, and waivers.

Mentorship: Mentor electrical engineers in EMC design principles and best practices.
