• Partner with suppliers to ensure accurate material declarations, conduct audits, and provide training to improve awareness of regulatory requirements.
• Prepare compliance reports and declarations (e.g., SCIP submissions, Declaration of Conformity) for regulatory bodies, customers, and stakeholders.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to non-compliance, proposing proactive solutions to address gaps and ensure adherence to regulations.
• Stay updated on emerging regulations and recommend improvements to processes to align with industry best practices and legislative changes.

About you:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Electronic, Chemical, or equivalent), with at least 5 years of experience in electrical/electronic/chemical fields, preferably in an R&D environment.
• Strong knowledge of global material regulations (e.g., restricted substances lists) and proficiency with compliance tools/software like FMD systems, IMDS, and SCIP database.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and process development skills, with experience in supplier management and conducting audits.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and work effectively in fast-paced environments.
• Strong communication skills to convey regulatory requirements to diverse audiences, coupled with fluency in English.
• Highly motivated, team-oriented individual with planning, organizing capabilities, and programming knowledge as a plus.
• Character of high integrity and a proactive approach to driving compliance initiatives.
