- Certification Management: Work with certification bodies (NRTLs) to establish and manage compliance programs for new technologies, ensuring timely approvals to support product introduction milestones. Partner closely with engineering and product teams to integrate safety requirements into development cycles
- Team Support & Alignment: Translate complex safety standards into actionable requirements for cross-functional teams. Provide technical guidance on functional safety practices and address feedback to align product designs with compliance needs
- Risk Management: Develop, document, and execute hazard mitigation and validation strategies. Support testing and verification activities to ensure system safety performance. Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to resolve compliance and safety issues proactively
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and product design teams to streamline compliance and safety processes for ESS. Maintain strong relationships with certification bodies and industry partners to stay ahead of evolving safety requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field
- Hands-on experience in embedded software development, ideally within safety-critical or regulated environments
- Preferred experience developing or working directly with microcontroller-based systems, including low-level software or firmware
- Proficiency in C for real-time embedded systems
- Strong background in UL 1998, UL 991, and UL 5500
- Familiarity with international functional safety standards such as IEC 61508, IEC/UL 60730, ISO 26262, or ISO 13849 (preferred)
- Experience working with Energy Storage Systems, power electronics, or safety-critical systems
- Demonstrated ability to apply functional safety methodologies (e.g., hazard analysis, safety cases, V&V planning)
- Experience managing compliance or certification processes with third-party testing/certification bodies
- Strong organizational skills, with high attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical requirements to diverse stakeholders
