Job description

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Product Safety Engineer to join our dynamic product development team, specializing in high-precision semiconductor equipment. In this role, you will ensure that our products comply with international safety standards by conducting pre-audit design reviews, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and coordinating with third-party auditors to obtain necessary compliance certifications. Your expertise will be critical in mitigating risks and ensuring the safety and reliability of our cutting-edge semiconductor equipment.

Responsibilities

1. Safety Compliance & Design Review:

   • Conduct pre-audit assessments of product designs to ensure compliance with international safety standards (e.g., IEC, UL, SEMI, CE, NFPA, ISO).

   • Work closely with design engineers to integrate safety requirements early in the product development lifecycle.

   • Identify potential safety hazards and recommend design modifications to mitigate risks.

2. Standards Interpretation & Implementation:

   • Stay updated on evolving global safety regulations relevant to semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

   • Translate regulatory requirements into actionable design and testing criteria.

3. Third-Party Audit Coordination:

   • Serve as the primary liaison between the company and external certification bodies (e.g., TÜV, UL, CSA).

   • Prepare and submit documentation required for compliance audits.

   • Facilitate on-site audits and address findings to achieve certification.

4. Testing & Validation Support:

   • Collaborate with test engineers to validate safety-critical components and systems, and conduct hands-on safety testing when required (e.g., electrical safety checks, fault condition simulations, and mechanical hazard assessments).

   • Review test reports and ensure alignment with certification requirements. Perform independent verification tests as needed to confirm compliance.

5. Risk Assessment & Documentation:

   • Conduct risk assessments (e.g., FMEA, Hazard Analysis) and maintain safety compliance records.

   • Develop and maintain technical files, compliance reports, and safety manuals.

6. Cross-Functional Collaboration:

   • Partner with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Legal teams to ensure safety considerations are embedded in product development.

   • Provide safety training and guidance to engineering teams as needed.

Qualifications

• Education:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Safety, or a related field.

• Experience:

  • 3+ years of experience in product safety engineering, preferably in semiconductor equipment, industrial machinery, or high-tech manufacturing.

  • Proven track record of achieving compliance certifications (e.g., CE, UL, IEC 60204, SEMI S2/S8).

  • Familiarity with safety standards such as CE, IEC 60204, NFPA 79

• Technical Skills:

  • Strong understanding of electrical/mechanical safety principles and hazard mitigation.

  • Experience with risk assessment methodologies (e.g., FMEA, HAZOP).

  • Proficiency in CAD/PLM tools (e.g., SolidEdge) for design review is a plus.

• Soft Skills:

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving abilities.

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
