ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Electrical Lab Engineer is a foundational role within our hardware team, designed for a motivated engineer eager to apply theoretical knowledge to complex, real-world electrical systems. You will be a key driver of lab efficiency, serving as the primary lead for the Electrical Engineering Lab while supporting the design, testing, and optimization of LVT’s hardware. Under the mentorship of senior engineers, you will contribute to project goals that directly impact our product’s success while developing a deep understanding of our agentic AI-driven hardware.

This role is based in-office out of our facility in Spanish Fork, Utah.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

• EE Lab Management: Serve as the primary steward of the Electrical Engineering Lab, ensuring equipment is calibrated, benches are organized, and components are properly inventoried.
• Hardware Debugging: Assist in troubleshooting and debugging simple electrical issues at the component and system levels to identify root causes and implement fixes.
• Testing & Validation: Perform basic electrical tests and analysis, utilizing tools like oscilloscopes and multimeters to validate sub-system performance.
• Documentation: Write and maintain clear technical documentation, including test plans, assembly instructions, and lab safety protocols.
• Prototyping & Rework: Support the assembly and verification of electrical prototypes, including PCB soldering, wire harness fabrication, and system integration.
• Execution & Planning: Manage routine tasks with moderate complexity, determining the scope of your individual efforts up to a week in advance.
• Continuous Improvement: Actively participate in team reviews, accepting feedback and applying lessons learned to improve departmental processes and outcomes.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Technical Foundation: Holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with a firm grasp of core electrical design concepts.
• Growth Mindset: Demonstrates a strong desire to learn industry standards and foundational skills with a goal of increasing self-sufficiency.
• Lab Proficiency: Comfortable managing a laboratory environment and proficient in using standard EE bench equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.).
• Problem Solver: Capable of handling tasks of moderate scope and complexity that require creative problem-solving and adaptation.
• Collaborative Spirit: Thrives in a team environment, effectively articulating technical findings and design impacts to the broader engineering group.
• Analytical Thinker: Able to perform basic electrical analysis and interpret data to support design improvements.
• Methodical Execution: Disciplined in following established procedures and guidelines while maintaining high standards of accuracy and lab safety.
• Action Oriented: Ready to take on straightforward tasks under supervision and execute them with a high degree of accountability.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Product Compliance Engineer will be the primary technical authority responsible for ensuring that all electro-mechanical security systems and associated components (cameras, power systems, enclosures, networking hardware) meet global regulatory standards for market access, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility. This role is critical for the North American market (US and Canada) and involves driving compliance from the initial product design concept through mass production and sustaining engineering.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

Regulatory Strategy & Design Support

• Standards Research: Research, interpret, and track regulatory and industry standards, including those from the Reach, RHOS, FCC, ISED, PTCRB, UL, and CSA, particularly for wireless, battery-powered, and outdoor electro-mechanical equipment.

• Design Guidance: Provide proactive, in-depth guidance to Electrical, Mechanical, and Firmware engineering teams on current and future compliance requirements.

• Labeling and Documentation: Own the creation and approval of all required regulatory markings, product labels, and compliance sections within user manuals and technical files (e.g., Declaration of Conformity).

Testing & Certification

• Test Plan Development: Define and execute comprehensive compliance test plans (Pre-compliance and Formal).

• Pre-Compliance Testing: Help plan in-house pre-compliance testing for Radiated and Conducted Emissions, Immunity, and ESD using laboratory equipment (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators).

• Agency Management: Coordinate all formal testing with Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs).

• Troubleshooting: Works with partners and engineering teams to rapidly diagnose and implement design fixes (hardware or firmware) for any non-compliance issues found during testing to prevent costly program delays.

Market Access & Sustaining Compliance

• Certification Maintenance: Maintain and renew all existing product certifications and manage the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process to ensure that product modifications do not invalidate current approvals.

• Global Market Access: Support expansion into international markets. 

• Industry-Specific Compliance: Ensure compliance with industry standards relevant to federal and government contracts, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience as a Compliance Engineer or Product Safety Engineer for electro-mechanical, IoT, or wireless products.

• Technical Skills:

• Strong knowledge of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC/EMI) principles and mitigation techniques.

• Hands-on experience with lab equipment for pre-compliance testing (e.g., spectrum analyzer, signal generator).

• Familiarity with interpreting PCB layouts and mechanical drawings for compliance assessment.

• Soft Skills: Excellent project management, organization, and technical documentation skills. Ability to clearly communicate complex compliance requirements to non-experts.
