Certification Engineer (EMC, ESD, Regulatory)

You will own regulatory compliance for the platform — EMC, safety, energy and regional approvals — from design-for-compliance input through test labs to shipping certificates. You are not a paperwork function: you shape the design early so the product passes the first time.

What you will work on:

• EMC and safety certification for a rack-scale AI compute platform
• Regional market approvals: FCC, CE/UKCA, IC, VCCI, KC, CCC and others as markets require
• Design-for-compliance review of boards, enclosure, cabling and power distribution
• Pre-compliance testing in-house, and full compliance campaigns with external labs
• Certification documentation, technical files and declarations of conformity

Responsibilities:

• Strategy & planning: Define the certification plan per market and per SKU, including standards applicable, test scope, lab selection and schedule. Own the compliance milestones in the programme plan.
• Design input: Review schematics, layout, enclosure, shielding, grounding and cable design against EMC and safety requirements before they are committed. Drive corrective action when pre-compliance shows a problem.
• Test execution: Run in-house pre-compliance scans — radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, ESD — and manage full campaigns at accredited labs through to passing results.
• Safety & standards: Own product safety compliance to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1, including creepage and clearance, energy sources, touch temperature and fire enclosure requirements.
• Documentation & cross-functional: Maintain technical files, test reports, declarations and markings. Work with mechanical, power and hardware teams on fixes, and with suppliers on component certifications.

Requirements:

• 6+ years in regulatory compliance and certification for electronic hardware, ideally IT or datacentre equipment
• Hands-on EMC test experience: radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, ESD, and the debug that follows a failure
• Working knowledge of IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 and the relevant EMC standards (CISPR 32/35, FCC Part 15)
• Experience managing external test labs and full certification campaigns to schedule
• Able to read schematics and layout and give concrete design-for-compliance feedback
• Comfortable owning technical files, declarations and market-entry documentation

Nice to Have:

• High-current or high-voltage DC power distribution compliance
• Liquid-cooled equipment safety considerations
• Energy efficiency and environmental regulation: ErP, Energy Star, RoHS, REACH, WEEE
• Experience with hyperscale or OCP-style deployments and their customer-specific requirements
• Familiarity with wireless or telecom approvals, if applicable to the platform
