Senior Compliance Test Engineer

The role

The Senior Compliance Test Engineer identifies regulatory and technical hurdles for products. You will collaborate with design engineering to demonstrate products meet requirements and achieve certifications for target markets.

What you will do

• Interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into test plans, procedures, and pass/fail criteria.
• Plan and run safety, performance, and environmental compliance testing.
• Run in-house pre-compliance testing.
• Coordinate and support witness testing and programs with NRTLs and third-party labs.
• Write clear, traceable test reports, data packages, and certification evidence.
• Design, build, and validate test setups, fixtures, and automation for MV and HV power electronics.
• Find and analyze test failures with design engineering and drive root cause analysis.

Required qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or equivalent
• 5+ years' experience in regulatory and compliance certification for solar, wind, battery or other power electronics products
• Working knowledge of standards such as UL 1741, IEEE 1547, IEEE 2800, IEC 62477-1, UL 347, or similar
• Experience with HV test equipment (hipot, PD systems, impulse generators), power analyzers, oscilloscopes, and data acquisition systems
• Experience working with NRTLs (UL, CSA, TÜV, Intertek, etc.) on certification projects
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity, relying on your first principles engineering experience to identify creative solutions to hard problems
• Capability to remain engaged, proactive, and positive under pressure, owning assignments and taking full accountability
• Effective communicator and negotiator with excellent attention to detail
• Hands on experience designing and operating test equipment and data acquisition systems, such as oscilloscopes, power and spectrum analyzers, data loggers, etc.

Nice to have

• Experience designing or testing medium-voltage systems (e.g., 5kV–35kV), including insulation coordination, clearance/creepage, and partial discharge considerations
• Experience with manufacturing processes and material selection for high-power assemblies (e.g., busbars, potting, conformal coating, HV connectors)
• Experience developing DFMEA, PFMEA and HARA for complex hardware design and manufacturing environment
• Experience participating in product-relevant standards committees
• Hands-on experience with test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or embedded scripting for power hardware validation

Benefits

• Competitive compensation (salary and equity)
