Electromagnetic Compatibility Solutions

The field of Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering (EMC Engineering) is a field described as the engineering of components and effects not on a schematic. The field deals with many direct and parasitic effects of electrical circuitry. The effects can cause disruption of normal operation in other electronics, often called susceptibility. The control and compliance of electronics to electrical interference limits is called compatibility.

Experience spans the military and aerospace, audio, medical, industrial, and testing industries.

Troubleshooting techniques and training in Electromagnetic Compatibility engineering are strengths.
