Role Summary: 

As Compliance Testing Engineer, you will lead the compliance testing function at Amperesand, ensuring our products not only meet global regulatory requirements but do so with the most favorable interpretations and the least friction. You’ll own the strategic direction for product compliance, partner with engineering and product leadership to define certification pathways early in the development process, and engage directly with NRTLs such as TUV, Intertek, UL, CSA, and global authorities to shape testing outcomes and timelines. 

This is a key role requiring technical depth, organizational influence, and proactive engagement with evolving standards like UL 1741-SB, IEC 60730, and IEEE 1547.1. Your mission is to ensure Amperesand is always one step ahead—never waiting for compliance, but defining it. 

Responsibilities: 

• Leadership: Build, manage, deliver high-integrity documentation, lab coordination, and standard interpretation throughout the development lifecycle. 

• Regulatory Interpretation & Influence: Serve as the internal authority on complex standards (e.g., UL 1741-SB, IEEE 1547.1, IEC 60730, UL 1998). Shape how those standards are applied to our technology and advocate for interpretations that support innovation while preserving safety. 

• Engagement with NRTLs: Own relationships with certifying bodies (TUV, UL, CSA, Intertek), lead negotiations on test requirements, coordinate test campaigns, and influence outcomes through proactive preparation and ongoing technical dialogue. 

• Compliance Infrastructure: Create and own internal tools and processes for compliance tracking, certification documentation, product labeling, and pre-compliance validation. Drive automation where possible. 

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Product Management, Safety Engineering, Firmware, and Power Systems to ensure compliance is embedded across product definition, not bolted on later. 

• Global Perspective: Prepare products for international certification including CE, UKCA, RoHS, and other country-specific requirements. Lead alignment on modular design reuse and regulatory harmonization. 
• Standards Monitoring: Continuously monitor updates to key grid codes, safety standards, and environmental regulations. Lead Amperesand’s internal readiness reviews and communicate impact. 

Qualifications:

• Experience: 2+ years in compliance, safety engineering, or regulatory affairs within power electronics, energy systems, or electromechanical product development.  

• Standards Mastery: Expert knowledge of UL 1741-SB, IEEE 1547.1, IEC 60730, and familiarity with UL 1998, UL 508A, NEC 705/710/480/490, and IEC 61850. 

• Test Lab Authority: Demonstrated leadership in certification test preparation and execution. Deep experience negotiating technical positions with NRTLs and test agencies. 

• System-Level Perspective: Ability to connect regulatory needs with product architecture, firmware behavior, and field safety constraints. Strong understanding of inverter and PCS system design. 

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven success influencing technical, commercial, and operational stakeholders at a senior level. 
• Process Builder: Experience designing and deploying scalable compliance systems (checklists, gates, pre-checks, traceability maps, etc.) across multiple products or platforms. 

Technical Skills: 

• Compliance Architecture: Able to structure modular certification pathways across hardware/software interfaces. 

• Certification Planning: Skilled in building phased certification plans aligned to NPI gates and market entry deadlines. 

• Design Reviews & Risk Analysis: Lead compliance reviews alongside FMEA, safety analysis, and DFx discussions. 

• Digital Tools: Familiarity with regulatory management systems, document control platforms, and engineering toolchains. 

Bonus Qualification:

• Energy Sector Knowledge: Experience working on projects related to smart grids, renewable energy, or energy management platforms is a plus.
