• Product Safety & NRTL Certifications: Lead safety certifications with NRTLs (UL, MET, Intertek/ETL, CSA, TÜV) applying hazard‑based safety engineering standards (such as IEC/UL/CSA 62368-1). Perform construction reviews, manage fault/thermal testing, evaluate safety‑critical components, and support factory surveillance audits.

• Environmental & Materials Compliance: Direct substance and recycling compliance programs including RoHS, REACH, WEEE, California Prop 65, and Conflict Minerals with supply chain and quality teams.
• NPD & Technical Design Guidance: Translate regulatory standards into actionable engineering requirements during early‑stage product architecture. Conduct pre‑compliance design reviews (schematics, PCB layouts, power architectures, enclosures) and lead root‑cause analysis for test failures.
• Documentation & Configuration Control: Maintain technical construction files, Declarations of Conformity (DoC), regulatory labeling, user manual warnings, and certified bill‑of‑materials (BOM) traceability throughout the product lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).

• Global Frameworks: Strong knowledge of global regulatory schemes, including CE marking, FCC, ISED, and international market‑access procedures.
• Technical Acumen: Ability to read and evaluate electrical schematics, PCB layouts, mechanical drawings, and component specifications.
• Project Leadership: Proven ability to manage multiple certification projects, budgets, and laboratory schedules simultaneously.
• Travel: Ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed to test labs, manufacturing sites, and vendor facilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep expertise in IEC/UL/CSA 62368-1 and hazard‑based safety engineering.
• Experience certifying rack‑mounted servers, enterprise networking products, data‑center hardware, power supplies, or battery systems.
• Direct experience with wireless module integration, global radio approvals, and the CB Scheme process.
• Familiarity with voluntary environmental programs (ENERGY STAR, EPEAT, TCO Certified, 80 PLUS).
