• Translate UL and NSF standards into clear design requirements for the Mechanical, Electrical, and Software teams.
• Serve as the primary liaison with UL, NSF, and other testing laboratories to facilitate compliance testing, manage field evaluations, and resolve technical questions throughout the certification process.
• Identify and conduct required product testing—including heating tests, ground-bonding verification, mechanical safety assessments, and material compatibility validation—to ensure UL and NSF compliance.
• As needed, suggest alternative NRTLs and work with stakeholders across the Wonder organization to determine which NRTLs are acceptable and required for our products.
• Maintain accurate records of certifications and documentation, such as the UL critical components list, testing requirements and procedures, and NSF Food Zone materials.
• Handle UL and NSF purchase orders, invoicing, and vendor relationships to ensure smooth certification processes.
• Audit and maintain our production Bills of Materials (BOMs) for UL and NSF compliance.
• Work closely with our contract manufacturers during Initial Production Inspections (IPIs) and periodic audits, taking action on any findings.
• Assist the design team with researching alternate materials that conform to relevant NSF/UL standards, establishing vendor contacts with material suppliers as needed.

• 4+ years of experience working with UL or a similar NRTL to obtain or maintain product listings.
• Experience performing testing to UL or similar NRTL standards, including the use of dataloggers, thermistors, and mechanical safety testing equipment.
• Experience participating in the new product design process to flag potential compliance issues early and influence design decisions.
• Bonus: Experience working with NSF standards, specifically NSF 2, 4, 7, 18, 51, 169, and/or 170.

Professional Skills

• Exceptional attention to detail with a proven ability to manage multiple certification projects simultaneously.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and BOMs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for interfacing with regulatory bodies, testing labs, and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Creative approach to resolving compliance challenges and finding practical solutions that balance safety requirements with engineering constraints.
