Job summary

Semidynamics is seeking a regulatory compliance lead to own EMC, safety and regional approvals for a rack-scale AI compute platform. You will shape design-for-compliance inputs early, run pre-compliance tests, and drive full certification campaigns with external labs to ensure first-time passes.

You will define certification plans per market, review schematics and layouts, manage lab campaigns, and maintain all technical files and declarations across multiple regions.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in regulatory compliance and certification for electronic hardware, ideally IT or datacentre equipment
• Hands-on EMC test experience: radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, ESD, and the debug that follows a failure
• Reading schematics and layout; give concrete design-for-compliance feedback
• Experience managing external test labs and full certification campaigns to schedule
• Comfortable owning technical files, declarations and market-entry documentation

Responsibilities

• Strategy & planning: Define the certification plan per market and per SKU, including standards applicable, test scope, lab selection and schedule. Own the compliance milestones in the programme plan.
• Design input: Review schematics, layout, enclosure, shielding, grounding and cable design against EMC and safety requirements before they are committed. Drive corrective action when pre-compliance shows a problem.
• Test execution: Run in-house pre-compliance scans - radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, ESD - and manage full campaigns at accredited labs through to passing results.
• Safety & standards: Own product safety compliance to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1, including creepage and clearance, energy sources, touch temperature and fire enclosure requirements.
• Documentation & cross-functional: Maintain technical files, test reports, declarations and markings. Work with mechanical, power and hardware teams on fixes, and with suppliers on component certifications.

Job description

You will own regulatory compliance for the platform - EMC, safety, energy and regional approvals - from design-for-compliance input through test labs to shipping certificates. You are not a paperwork function: you shape the design early so the product passes the first time.

What you will work on:

• EMC and safety certification for a rack-scale AI compute platform
• Regional market approvals: FCC, CE/UKCA, IC, VCCI, KC, CCC and others as markets require
• Design-for-compliance review of boards, enclosure, cabling and power distribution
• Pre-compliance testing in-house, and full compliance campaigns with external labs
• Certification documentation, technical files and declarations of conformity

Responsibilities:

• Strategy & planning: Define the certification plan per market and per SKU, including standards applicable, test scope, lab selection and schedule. Own the compliance milestones in the programme plan.
• Design input: Review schematics, layout, enclosure, shielding, grounding and cable design against EMC and safety requirements before they are committed. Drive corrective action when pre-compliance shows a problem.
• Test execution: Run in-house pre-compliance scans - radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, ESD - and manage full campaigns at accredited labs through to passing results.
• Safety & standards: Own product safety compliance to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1, including creepage and clearance, energy sources, touch temperature and fire enclosure requirements.
• Documentation & cross-functional: Maintain technical files, test reports, declarations and markings. Work with mechanical, power and hardware teams on fixes, and with suppliers on component certifications.

Requirements:

• 6+ years in regulatory compliance and certification for electronic hardware, ideally IT or datacentre equipment
• Hands-on EMC test experience: radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, ESD, and the debug that follows a failure
• Working knowledge of IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 and the relevant EMC standards (CISPR 32/35, FCC Part 15)
• Experience managing external test labs and full certification campaigns to schedule
• Able to read schematics and layout and give concrete design-for-compliance feedback
• Comfortable owning technical files, declarations and market-entry documentation

Nice to Have:

• High-current or high-voltage DC power distribution compliance
• Liquid-cooled equipment safety considerations
• Energy efficiency and environmental regulation: ErP, Energy Star, RoHS, REACH, WEEE
• Experience with hyperscale or OCP-style deployments and their customer-specific requirements
• Familiarity with wireless or telecom approvals, if applicable to the platform

Why Semidynamics?

• Work for one of Europe's most promising deep-tech semiconductor scale-ups.
• Accelerated development path.
• 4 days per week in the Barcelona office (city center), 1 day WFH.
• 1 week of work from everywhere in the world.
• Competitive package.
• A collaborative, technical, and growth-oriented environment that values direct ownership and clear thinking.
