Compliance Engineer

Location:Remote (U.S.) •Function:Product & Compliance •Seniority:Senior IC / First-of-functionAbout Certivo Certivo is an AI-first platform that assembles, validates, and keeps regulatoryevidencecurrent so industrial manufacturers can launch on time and ship without documentation holds. We turn messy supplier documents intopacket-ready proofacross product × site × market.Why this role You’ll be the company’s point of truth forproduct safety & quality —translating standards intomachine-readable rules , designing pragmatic test/inspection plans, and partnering with Engineering so ourAI evidence enginecan auto-check compliance at scale. Your work directly determines whether customers ship on schedule.What you’ll do Scope market accessfor real products (e.g., control panels, machinery with drives, lab instruments) across U.S./EU routes: Listing/Field Label, CE LVD/Machinery, UKCA, CB Scheme. Break down safety standards (UL 508A, NFPA 70/79, IEC/EN 60204-1, EN/IEC 61439, ISO 13849-1/-2, UL/EN/IEC 61010-1, UL 61800-5-1) intodeterministic, testable rules(scope, data quality, thresholds, calculations, expiry/freshness, aggregation, exceptions, risk scoring). Define thetechnical file/build packet : wiring diagrams, BOM with safety-relevant parts, rating plate/markings (incl.SCCRwhere required), OCPD & conductor sizing calcs, enclosure/IP/NEMA evidence, routine electrical test records (withstand & PE continuity), functional-safety artifacts, risk assessments, DoCs/labels. Encode rules for software : specify inputs/units, outputs, messages, and versioning; write rule tables/JSON DSL that our engine and LLM tooling can evaluate deterministically. Designtest & inspection plansfactories can run—levels, methods, sampling, acceptance limits, records & traceability. Triagesupplier evidence(UL/CB reports, test certs, SDS): assess completeness/aging, raise precise requests, and document acceptable alternatives. Partner with Product/Engineering onschemas, audit trails, and change control ; create unit-test scenarios so rules stay stable as standards evolve. Join key customer calls (engineering, quality, auditors) to unblock safety/quality topics and align on acceptance criteria. Capture learnings intochecklists, templates, and auto-validation hintsthat become reusable product features.What great looks like (first 90 days) Two product profiles scoped end-to-end with correct routes/standards andtop-risk checksidentified (SCCR, PE continuity, creepage/clearance, markings). A balancedruleset (≥12) livein our engine with unit tests and clear messages. Afactory-ready test planadopted by a pilot customer. Supplier-evidence triage that measurably reduces last-mile documentation issues. A simpledashboard metricfor evidence freshness and risk that the team reviews weekly.You have 6–10+ yearsin product safety/compliance for industrial equipment, machinery/panels, or lab instrumentation. Hands-on withUL/IEC/ENsafety standards (at least two of: UL 508A, IEC/EN 60204-1, EN/IEC 61439, ISO 13849-1/-2, UL/EN/IEC 61010-1, UL 61800-5-1). Proven experience assemblingtechnical files , determiningSCCR , and leading routine electrical tests (dielectric/withstand, PE continuity), labeling/marking reviews, and documentation sign-off. Systems mindset:comfortable turning narrative requirements intostructured data and rules(tables, formulas, thresholds), speaking the language of schemas/JSON/IDs/versions. Clear writing, precise diagrams, and calm communication with engineers, test labs, and auditors.Nice to have CE Machinery risk assessments; CB Scheme familiarity. Functional safety basics (PL, PFHd, stop categories) and how they intersect with docs/testing. EMC/EMI exposure (coordination with labs and CE/RED inputs). Comfort reviewing SQL-ish queries or Python notebooks to validate assumptions (no heavy coding required).How we work AI-first:your rules become software—evaluated by our evidence engine and surfaced via LLM-assisted workflows (with guardrails). Remote-first (U.S.)with Pacific time overlap; light travel to labs/customers (≤10%). We bias towritten plans , quick experiments, and shipping.Equal Opportunity We’re an equal-opportunity employer.
