Job description

Product Compliance & Regulatory Engineer

Take the Next Step Into Product Compliance & Regulatory Engineering

Most engineers learn product compliance. Few have the opportunity to own it.

My client is an established engineering and manufacturing organization that designs and manufactures highly engineered equipment for industrial and laboratory applications. They are seeking a Product Compliance & Regulatory Engineer to assume responsibility for an established global product compliance program as part of a planned succession initiative.

If you've built a solid foundation in product compliance and regulatory engineering and are ready to step into a broader, higher-visibility role, this is an opportunity to accelerate your career while expanding your technical and professional responsibilities.

• Annual Pay-for-Performance Bonus Program
• Comprehensive Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• 10 paid company holidays annually
• Personal and paid sick days
• Term life and Accidental Death Insurance
• Long-term career growth with an established manufacturing organization

What You'll Do

• Lead product compliance and certification activities for new and existing products.
• Guide engineering teams through product safety and regulatory requirements during product development.
• Coordinate certification projects with organizations including UL, CSA, ETL, TUV and CE.
• Support compliance initiatives involving RoHS, REACH, EMC, EPA and other domestic and international regulatory requirements.
• Interpret evolving regulatory standards and communicate compliance requirements throughout the organization.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, certification records and compliance reports.
• Support product testing, audits, investigations and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Partner with engineering, manufacturing, quality, operations, suppliers and third-party certification agencies.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering preferred. Mechanical Engineering backgrounds with applicable experience will also be considered.
• 3+ years of product compliance, regulatory engineering, product safety, certification or related engineering experience.
• Working knowledge of UL, CE, RoHS, REACH, EMC, CSA, ETL, TUV or similar regulatory standards.
• Experience supporting engineering teams through certification, testing and regulatory approvals.
• Strong project management, communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Manufacturing or engineered products experience preferred.
• Refrigeration or electromechanical product experience is a plus.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This position offers far more than regulatory documentation. You'll assume responsibility for an established global compliance program while building upon a strong foundation already in place. You'll become a trusted technical resource supporting engineering, manufacturing, quality and operations while helping bring innovative products to market in compliance with worldwide regulatory requirements.
