Job summary

Eaton Corporation in Menomonee Falls, WI is seeking an Agency Certification Engineer for full-time, daylight hours. Own and manage product safety certification for Industrial Control product lines, interfacing with UL, CSA, IEC, and other bodies to ensure timely listings and compliance.

You will drive certification tasks across engineering, test labs, manufacturing, and agencies, track milestones, and provide leadership with live status updates and risk visibility.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an accredited institution.
• 5+ years of product design experience.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without company sponsorship, now and in the future.
• No relocation benefit is being offered for this position. Only candidates residing within a 50-mile radius of the facility listed will be considered. Active‑Duty Military Service member candidates are exempt from the geographical area limitation

Responsibilities

• Certification ownership & responsiveness
• Own end-to-end agency certification for assigned Industrial Control product lines, from gap assessment through file approval and ongoing maintenance.
• Respond rapidly to certification questions, engineering change requests, and agency inquiries — treating compliance as a fast-moving service function, not a back-office queue.
• Determine applicable standards (UL 60947 / UL 508, CSA, IEC 60947 series, and others) and define the test and evidence plan required for each listing.
• Task tracking & program management
• Actively track every open certification task, submittal, and audit action through to closure with clear owners and due dates, so nothing lapses or stalls.
• Manage multiple concurrent certification programs against committed dates, escalating risks early rather than reporting them late.
• Maintain a portfolio-wide view of certification status, expirations, and risk, and report it to leadership on a live basis.
• NPI/NPD launch support
• Serve as the certification gatekeeper in NPI/NPD programs, embedding certification milestones into the project timeline so Industrial Control launches are never delayed by compliance.
• Review designs, components, and materials early to confirm certifiability and prevent late-stage rework.
• Agency & audit management
• Act as the primary contact for certification agencies and field representatives, managing submittals, reviews, and follow-up.
• Lead follow-up/plant audits, resolve nonconformances, and drive corrective actions to fast closure.
• Change & maintenance control
• Assess product, part, and material changes for certification impact and process re-evaluations to keep listings valid.
• Proactively renew certifications ahead of expiration to prevent any lapse in compliance.
• Leadership & visibility
• Mentor certification and design engineers on standards interpretation and compliant design practice.
• Build and maintain certification dashboards and trackers (Power BI / Jira / Excel) giving leadership real-time status, expiration risk, and audit-action visibility.
