Department: Research and Development
Company: Electrical OEM
Most compliance roles are treated as late-stage hurdles positioned to rubber-stamp finished designs. This role is embedded directly within Research & Development to influence product architecture from day one.
Why Join
- Upstream Design Impact: Integrates directly into R&D from Day 1 to influence product architecture—not as a late-stage rubber stamp.
- Final Authority: Holds ultimate decision-making power over testing protocols, agency submissions, and product launch clearance.
- Direct Executive Visibility: Reports straight to the Director of R&D with high visibility across company leadership.
- Global Scope: Directs multi-standard certifications across North America and Europe (UL, ETL, NSF, DOE, CE, UKCA, EPA).
- Workplace Balance: Hybrid schedule supported by a culture that prioritizes product integrity over cutting corners.
Core Responsibilities
- Lead Certification Strategy: Oversee end-to-end testing timelines, agency submissions, and laboratory relationships.
- Partner with R&D: Review early-phase designs and evaluate component changes to eliminate compliance risks before prototyping.
- Maintain Quality Standards: Direct internal audits, root cause analysis, and CAPA initiatives across product lines.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience: Product certification, regulatory affairs, or compliance engineering.
- Standards: Hands-on experience with UL/ETL standards and ISO 9001 internal auditing frameworks.
- Communication: Ability to translate complex regulatory mandates into clear technical design constraints.
