Electronic Design Engineer
Electronic Design Engineers provide expert circuit design services for companies that need results—not guesswork. Our work bridges theory and implementation, delivering schematics, simulations, prototypes, and design documentation optimized for performance, manufacturability, and compliance.
We help customers reduce risk, shorten development cycles, and solve hard electrical problems. Our circuit designs are engineered for performance, reliability, and regulatory success—so your product reaches market faster and with confidence.
EMC/EMI Consulting
EMC/EMI consultants provide engineering services to help companies ensure their electronic products comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. These services include design assistance, pre-compliance testing, on-site troubleshooting, and final certification support to prevent products from interfering with each other and to ensure they meet regulations from bodies like the FCC, ISO, IEC, CISPR and EN. Consultants help analyze problems, develop solutions, and navigate the complex compliance landscape

for your business
Product Design (Schematic and PCB layout) for EMC
The most cost effective way to save money when developing a new product is to think ahead. Most businesses don’t think about EMC/EMI until they have a problem. We like to design for EMC/EMI so that Compliance testing is a formality not a problem.
EMC/EMI Solutions
Having a problem passing compliance and you are not sure what to do next? We can solve your EMI issues fast and cost effectively.
Design Review
Are you designing a new board or product and you want to make sure you are not designing in a problem? We can help review your schematic, PCB layout or your entire design, not just for EMC/EMI but for practical design quality.
Near Field Probing
All far field radiated noise spikes have a near field signature. Tracing a near field signal on a PCB will point you to the source of the problem.
EMC/EMI Testing
Pre-compliance EMC testing is one of the smartest things you can do to save time and money. We have partnered with a local EMC lab and can support you for pre-compliance testing and compliance certification.
EMC/EMI Training
Long term you will save money and time when you train your engineering staff on EMC/EMI. We have introductory through advanced training material. We can present trainings online or in person.

If there is one thing people think of when they hear Gordon Varney at TI, it was his unbelievable knowledge of EMI and EMC standards no matter the application, standard, or uniqueness of the situation.
I had the privilege to learn from Gordon over ~1 year, and as a member of the EMC steering committee and an unbelievably active EMC council member, his guidance and attention to detail helped my group through numerous cycles of EMC tests (theory, equipment setup, board design optimization, and mitigation techniques for targeted emission frequency ranges).
Fellow military brother, and the most knowledgeable electromagnetic emission/conduction expert I have ever met, it’s an honor to know him, and he is definitely a leader in this field and was an honor to learn from him personally.

I have worked with Gordon in two different product groups at TI. Gordon has consistently provided innovative solutions to benefit both external customers and internal test solutions at TI. He has an absolute wealth of knowledge in the field of EMI/EMC and has helped understand and solve problems that are extremely challenging including the stringent standards used in automotive. He is also able to convey this information in a manner that is digestable to engineers who may not be experts in EMI/EMC. I am a better engineer from my time working with Gordon and would recommend him without hesitation, espcially in the field of EMI/EMC.

For the past two years, I had the privilege of becoming a mentee of Gordon Varney where he guided and educated me on immunity and emissions testing. With over 40 years of experience, Gordon is an incredible leader in EMC. I recall shadowing him on one of his customer calls and leaving in awe of his ability to debug issues from a circuit layout and schematic perspective. He taught me how to identify and mitigate parasitic effects in systems and devices. Gordon instructed me on key EMI standards and explained their relevance as electrical systems get more compact. Helping me craft test plans based on current sensing environments/applications, Gordon was instrumental in the development of our comprehensive pre-compliance setup in TI’s Tucson lab.
I am incredibly grateful for the time Gordon spent brainstorming and guiding me to create effective filtering solutions. He is the type of engineer with a legendary EMI pre-compliance setup in his garage! He is a trailblazer in this field and I highly recommend his new consulting business for any EMI emissions or immunity challenges when designing your Automotive or Industrial systems.

I have worked with Gordon for more than a decade. From the time we were the only team focused on the development of advanced automotive technology until the expansion of automotive across all product lines. His contribution to development of applications with EMC/EMI in all areas of industrial market grew to a point that he was recognized as one of the leading experts in the field by technical and business communities within TI. We served together as members of TI EMC/EMI Council steering committee. He was one of the nine member committee to drive the direction and deployment of EMC measurement environments for many standards within Texas Instruments. He was the committee’s leading experienced technical expert who played a pivotal role to respond in solving issues and urgent problems encountered by many business units in this field. He is one of the most expert engineers in the field that I have met and had the pleasure to work with in the past 30 years of my engineering work. He is smart, competent, caring and always ready to solve EMC problems and does with joy as if the process was already his reward. I wish him all the best in his journey for independent operations and those who acquire his services are the true winners.
