Compliance Engineer - Safety and Quality Compliance (Remote)

Location : Remote (U.S.)

Function : Product & Compliance

Seniority :

Senior IC / First-of-function

About Certivo

Certivo 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 role

You’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.

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 Opportunity

We’re an equal-opportunity employer. If you need an accommodation during the process, tell us—happy to help.
