[Urgent] Compliance Engineer

Location: Remote (U.S.) • Function: Product & Compliance • Seniority: Senior IC / First-of-functionAbout CertivoCertivo is an AI-first platform that assembles, validates, and keeps regulatory evidence current so industrial manufacturers can launch on time and ship without documentation holds. We turn messy supplier documents into packet-ready proof across product × site × market.Why this roleYou'll be the company's point of truth for product safety & quality—translating standards into machine-readable rules, designing pragmatic test/inspection plans, and partnering with Engineering so our AI evidence engine can auto-check compliance at scale. Your work directly determines whether customers ship on schedule.What you'll do- Scope market access for 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) into deterministic, testable rules (scope, data quality, thresholds, calculations, expiry/freshness, aggregation, exceptions, risk scoring). - Define the technical file/build packet: wiring diagrams, BOM with safety-relevant parts, rating plate/markings (incl. SCCR where 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. - Design test & inspection plans factories can run—levels, methods, sampling, acceptance limits, records & traceability. - Triage supplier evidence (UL/CB reports, test certs, SDS): assess completeness/aging, raise precise requests, and document acceptable alternatives. - Partner with Product/Engineering on schemas, 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 into checklists, templates, and auto-validation hints that become reusable product features.What great looks like (first 90 days)- Two product profiles scoped end-to-end with correct routes/standards and top-risk checks identified (SCCR, PE continuity, creepage/clearance, markings). - A balanced ruleset (≥12) live in our engine with unit tests and clear messages. - A factory-ready test plan adopted by a pilot customer. - Supplier-evidence triage that measurably reduces last-mile documentation issues. - A simple dashboard metric for evidence freshness and risk that the team reviews weekly.You have- 6–10+ years in product safety/compliance for industrial equipment, machinery/panels, or lab instrumentation. - Hands-on with UL/IEC/EN safety 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 assembling technical files, determining SCCR, and leading routine electrical tests (dielectric/withstand, PE continuity), labeling/marking reviews, and documentation sign-off. - Systems mindset: comfortable turning narrative requirements into structured 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 to written plans, quick experiments, and shipping.Equal OpportunityWe're an equal-opportunity employer.
