What will you own?

• Organize the compliance aspect of programs by preparing schedules, compiling cost estimates, and identifying required resources including test laboratories and equipment.
• Research, identify, and understand applicable regulatory compliance standards and codes, with a particular focus on safety and EMC.
• Work closely with design engineers to communicate relevant compliance constraints, explore solution spaces, and identify and resolve uncertainties in interpretation of standards. Participate in design reviews.
• Qualify new components and secure relevant documentation and certificates from suppliers as needed.
• Coordinate with technical leads to assemble documentation and reports that are needed for compliance, such as critical component lists and risk/hazard assessments. 
• Coordinate with test labs to request quotes, schedule testing, review test reports, and secure compliance certificates.
• Work with technicians at test lab facilities to help ensure that testing is performed promptly and correctly, and that the device under test is kept operational.
• Collaborate with engineers to debug, root cause, and resolve compliance issues as they arise. Recommend product and process changes, and initiate engineering change orders as needed.
• Track and understand emerging compliance engineering practices and standards. Participate in educational opportunities and professional organizations. Read professional publications and maintain personal networks.

Important Note: 

Although we list out what we generally look for, we are very likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit, but are not currently listed. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalized groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%. The point we’re getting at, it doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply!

What you have:

• Track record of testing and certifying electro-mechanical products that ship internationally.
• Expertise in US, Canadian, European (Low Voltage Directive and Machinery Directive), and other global market certification requirements.
• Proficiency with safety standards such as IEC 60950-1, IEC 62368-1, IEC 60204-1, etc and associated test equipment and procedures.
• Familiarity with EMC standards such as IEC 55032, IEC 55024, etc and associated test equipment and procedures.
• Ability to perform hazard and risk assessments and compile critical component lists.
• Strong grasp of concepts such as “fire enclosure”, “ground bond”, “ESD”, and “creepage and clearance”.
• Experience working with test labs local to the Boston area is preferred.
• Experience with PLM systems is preferred.
• Capability to navigate and review designs in mechanical and electrical CAD (for example Solidworks and Altium) is preferred.
• Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields, or equivalent industry experience
• Excellent verbal and written communication in English is required
