The TRaC Global Group has strengthened its compliance offer for the military with the appointment of Carlos Perkins to run its EMC Projects test laboratory in Ringwood, Hampshire.
Carlos, 48, brings over 20 years’ experience in EMC and TEMPEST approvals to TRaC, having worked for leading organisations around the world, including MIRA, Rohde and Schwarz, Nokia, Marconi and QinetiQ.
Carlos has spent the past five years working at EADS Casa in Madrid on secure communications systems for the A400M Airbus military transport plane. His military expertise is seen as a particularly important skill set for TRaC Global at a time of increasing demand for testing from the defence industry. He has been working at the cutting edge of technological developments for military and aerospace applications and brings with him the skills to manage the qualification process quickly and efficiently.
Carlos’ appointment is part of the ongoing investment in people and facilities at TRaC Global, which comprises world class specialist test laboratories TRL Compliance, KTL, Cape and EMC Projects. He will be responsible for the day to day management of facilities and operations at the group’s South of England laboratory, near Ringwood.
Commenting on his new position, Carlos says: “I am joining TRaC Global at an exciting time in its development and see this is a tremendous opportunity to use my experience and knowledge to help move the group forward.”
