Manufacturing Regulatory Compliance Program Manager

This direct-hire role puts you at the center of Foxconn’s smart manufacturing operations, ensuring every process and product aligns with local, state, and federal requirements. You’ll bring together teams across engineering, operations, legal, and R&D while engaging with government agencies to keep our U.S. facilities fully compliant and future-ready.

Midday, you host a training for cross-functional partners on EHS and quality systems. In the afternoon, you brief legal counsel on potential risk areas uncovered in a recent audit, finalize a corrective action plan, and prepare documentation for an upcoming inspection. Before you wrap, you submit a permit package and align with R&D to confirm a new product test protocol meets applicable standards.
