SUMMARY

The discussion centers on transitioning EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) experience to the U.S. job market, particularly for individuals lacking familiarity with DO-160 standards. The participant has a background in physics and nuclear engineering, seeking additional certifications or a master's degree to enhance their qualifications. Key advice includes the importance of a strong RF (Radio Frequency) background for addressing EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) issues and understanding product design for electrical transients. Participants suggest exploring programming certifications that could complement EMC expertise.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) principles
  • Familiarity with DO-160 standards for airborne objects
  • Knowledge of EN standards applicable to Information Technology Equipment (ITE)
  • Basic programming skills or interest in programming certifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research DO-160 certification programs and their applicability in the U.S.
  • Explore RF engineering courses to strengthen EMC problem-solving skills
  • Investigate programming certifications that align with EMC job requirements
  • Learn about EN standards and their relevance to global EMC practices
USEFUL FOR

Individuals with a background in physics or engineering seeking to enter the EMC field in the U.S., as well as professionals looking to enhance their qualifications with relevant certifications and programming skills.

Dear members

I need guidance, advice greatly appreciated. Idid bachelor in physics and MS in nuclear Engg. Then have experience in EMC/EMI which lacks DO-160 experience and some other standards being used in USA. Now I am settled in US
How Can I make my EMC experience applicable to US by some extra certificate or Master. I am also interested in programming or there is is any programmin certificates with which I can help me apply to EMC jobs and use my experience also.

Thanks please advise me what should i do.

Welcome to the PF.

I'm not familiar with DO-160. What is it applicable to?

I work mostly with the EN- standards (they tend to be world-wide standards), applicable to Information Technology Equipment (ITE).

Having a good RF background is really key in EMC work, both for solving EMI problems, and for understanding how to design products to be able to handle electrical transients.

DO-160 IS a standard for airborne objects
