Product Safety & Compliance Engineer
NPD Compliance – Household Appliances & Medical Devices
The Product Safety & Compliance Engineer partners with global product development teams and external certification bodies (NRTLs and agency labs) to drive product safety compliance and certification from concept through mass production. The portfolio is primarily household appliances, with medical and wellness devices. This is a hands-on engineering role: you will influence product design early, own the certification path, and be the voice of compliance in the room — including when that means pushing back.
What You'll Do
- Own certification and risk-analysis activities for multiple new product development projects simultaneously, from product concept through mass production.
- Translate complicated regulatory and standards requirements into simple, actionable design guidance for design engineers and product managers — early enough to shape the design, not just audit it after the fact.
- Review product designs and constructions against applicable safety standards; identify compliance gaps and propose practical, engineering-grounded mitigation.
- Define certification deliverables, sample plans, and timelines with development teams and third-party labs; drive agency evaluations to close on schedule.
- Execute risk analysis (hazard analysis, DFMEA) and maintain traceable compliance documentation across the product lifecycle.
- Present project status, certification timelines, and risks in weekly cross-functional reviews — clearly, confidently, and without burying the bad news.
