• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate EMC/EMI considerations into the design phase of spacecraft systems and subsystems.
• Review and analyze design documents, schematics, and layout plans to identify potential EMC/EMI issues.

1. Testing and Validation:

• Develop and implement comprehensive EMC/EMI test plans and procedures for spacecraft systems.
• Conduct EMC/EMI testing, including pre-compliance and compliance testing.
• Analyze test data, identify non-conformities, and recommend corrective actions to resolve EMC/EMI issues.

1. Standards and technological watch:

• Ensure all designs and test procedures comply with relevant EMC/EMI standards
• Stay updated with the latest developments in EMC/EMI standards and incorporate them into design and testing processes.

1. Documentation and Reporting:

• Prepare detailed technical reports, test summaries, and design documentation related to EMC/EMI activities.
• Maintain accurate records of all test results, design recommendations, and corrective actions.

1. Collaboration and Support:

• Work closely with system engineers, hardware designers, and other stakeholders to address EMC/EMI challenges throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Provide technical support and training to engineering teams on EMC/EMI best practices and mitigation techniques.
