Senior Compliance Engineer

Description

• Test Planning & Witnessing: Oversee pre-compliance testing, witness formal certification testing, and support root cause analysis for any failures.
• Compliance Strategy Development: Shape a long-term strategy for global certifications (e.g., CE, UL, UKCA) that supports modular deployment, software updates, and evolving grid codes.
• Documentation Ownership: Develop and maintain compliance documentation including test plans, technical construction files, declarations of conformity, and certification roadmaps.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with the compliance manager, product team, system architects, and safety engineers to ensure clear alignment between system features and regulatory deliverables.
• Early-Stage Engagement: Engage early with product managers, firmware teams, and hardware engineers to de-risk compliance bottlenecks before they emerge downstream.
• Standards Mapping & Interpretation: Identify relevant regulatory standards during product planning (e.g., UL 1741-SB, IEC 60730, IEEE 1547, NEC 705) and guide cross-functional teams on how to comply efficiently.
• Continuous Learning: Track evolving standards and codes; share summaries and implications with internal teams.
• NRTL Engagement: Build relationships and coordinate test and certification efforts with Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (e.g., TUV, UL, CSA) to secure certifications while advocating for interpretation favorable to Amperesand.

Requirements

• Communication: Confident explaining technical standards and certification options to engineers, managers, and external stakeholders.
• Safety Engineering Liaison: Ability to collaborate with FMEA/safety teams on hazard analysis and mitigation from a compliance perspective.
• Technical Acumen: Ability to read electrical schematics, firmware logic, and system diagrams to trace regulatory impacts across the product.
• Standards Expertise: Proven experience applying and interpreting UL 1741-SB, IEC 60730, IEEE 1547, and/or other international grid interconnection or safety standards.
• Product Testing & Pre-Compliance: Experience designing and overseeing compliance testing (dielectric withstand, grounding, functional safety, EMC).
• Energy Sector Knowledge: Experience working on projects related to smart grids, renewable energy, or energy management platforms is a plus.
• Documentation & Process: Skilled in producing compliance documents, test procedures, and certification plans.
• Test Lab Collaboration: Hands-on experience working with third-party labs (e.g., UL, TUV, Intertek, CSA) for product certification and compliance negotiation.
• Experience: 5+ years in regulatory engineering or compliance roles in power electronics, embedded systems, or capital equipment.
• Digital Compliance Systems: Familiarity with digital tracking tools (e.g., compliance matrices, traceability charts, documentation repositories).
• Regulatory Navigation: Strong grasp of North American and IEC-based product compliance ecosystems, including listing, labeling, marking, and conformity requirements.
• Power Systems Literacy: Understanding of medium-voltage systems (e.g., 22 kV), PCS/inverter architectures, and smart grid control integration.
• Standards Interpretation: Deep knowledge of UL 1741-SB, IEEE 1547.1, IEC 60730, UL 1998, and NEC Article 705/710/480.
