EMC Engineer
Save
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineers are responsible for ensuring that electrical and electronic devices do not emit excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) and are immune to EMI from other devices. They work to ensure that electronic devices meet regulatory requirements for EMI and that they do not interfere with the operation of other devices in the vicinity.
Responsibilities
EMC engineers perform a variety of tasks, including:
- Measuring and analyzing EMI emissions from electronic devices
- Designing and implementing EMI mitigation measures
- Testing and certifying electronic devices for EMC compliance
- Investigating EMI problems in electronic devices
- Developing and implementing EMC standards and regulations
Education and Training
EMC engineers typically have a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field. They may also have a master's degree in EMC or a related field. EMC engineers must be familiar with the principles of electromagnetics and EMC regulations. They must also be able to use a variety of test equipment and software to measure and analyze EMI.
