• Partner with internal engineering teams to identify safety and compliance risks early in the design phase and recommend compliant design solutions.
• Support product certification activities, including preparation of technical documentation, critical component reviews, and resolution of non‑conformances.

Third‑Party Testing & Certification Support

• Act as the technical interface between the company, ODM or third‑party laboratories, certification bodies, and regulatory agencies.
• Review test plans, test results, and certification reports to ensure accuracy and alignment with regulatory requirements.
• Support follow‑up testing, corrective actions, and engineering changes required for compliance.

EMC & Regulatory Support (Preferred)

• Provide support for EMC compliance activities, including familiarity with FCC, ICES, and EU EMC Directive requirements.
• Assist with EMC test planning, report review, and mitigation of non‑compliances in collaboration with design teams and test labs.

Global Compliance & Market Access

• Support global compliance efforts for information technology equipment and related electronic products, including region‑specific requirements (North America, EU, and other international markets).
• Maintain awareness of evolving regulatory requirements and industry standards that may impact product compliance.

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

Contribute to the development and improvement of internal compliance processes, checklists, and design guidelines.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Direct experience with UL/CSA/IEC 62368‑1 or similar hazard‑based safety standards.
• Exposure to EMC compliance, including FCC, ICES, and EU EMC Directive requirements.
• Experience supporting global regulatory compliance for information technology or electronic equipment.
• Experience working in a third‑party testing or certification laboratory performing product evaluations, construction reviews, or compliance testing.
