Martin Schauer

Expert in Computational Electromagnetics & Virtual EM Prototyping

With over two decades of experience in Computational Electromagnetics (CEM), I specialize in virtual EM prototyping through simulation, helping companies overcome complex challenges in low-frequency sensors, antennas, signal/power integrity, electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC), and RF exposure. My work bridges the gap between theoretical innovation and practical, real-world solutions—ensuring products not only meet regulatory standards but also excel in performance and reliability.

Why Work With Me?

Deep Technical Expertise

  • Proven Track Record: From Apple and Microsoft to CST of America, I’ve tackled EMI/EMC, signal integrity, and antenna design and worked on flagship products like iPhone, HoloLens, and MacBook.
  • Simulation Mastery: Expert in CST STUDIO SUITE and custom scripting (Python, C++, MATLAB) for high-fidelity EM simulations.
  • Patent Portfolio: Co-inventor on 6 granted patents (Apple Inc.), reflecting innovative solutions to real-world EM challenges.

Strategic Problem-Solving

  • System-Level Insights: I don’t just simulate—I analyze board-level, component-level, and system-level interactions to identify root causes and optimize designs for coexistence, emissions, and susceptibility.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Experience with MIL-STD-461/464, FCC, and international EMC standards, ensuring the simulation aligns with test method.

Collaborative Approach

  • Clear Communication: Recognized for outstanding training and presentation skills—I translate complex EM concepts into actionable insights for engineers, managers, and stakeholders.
  • Tailored Solutions: As an independent consultant, I offer flexible, client-focused support, whether you need a one-time simulation review or ongoing R&D collaboration.

My Journey

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Technical University Darmstadt): Specialized in non-linear and highly permeable materials.
  • Industry Leadership: Held senior roles at Apple, Microsoft, and CST, managing teams, developing training programs, and driving innovation in EM simulation workflows.
  • Thought Leadership: Speaker and panelist at conferences, lecturer, and reviewer.
