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