Compliance Engineering

Remote Position: Hybrid
Building the next generation of modular data centers and supporting power systems requires navigating an intricate web of factory-built product certifications and site-specific field deployment codes. We are seeking a highly collaborative, action-oriented Senior Certification & Compliance Engineer to join our engineering team.
You will help bridge the gap between "factory listings" and "field compliance," ensuring that our prefabricated, containerized E-houses, power skids, and modular systems are natively engineered to satisfy global regulatory frameworks, accelerate deployment schedules, and help secure seamless permitting.
Our ideal candidate brings a proven background in certifying heavy electrical power equipment and a proactive drive to navigate complex regulatory landscapes. You will forge strategic relationships with key certification bodies, partner closely with engineering teams to optimize design performance, and develop robust testing plans and schedules that keep projects moving seamlessly from concept to compliance.
Active Design Integration (Compliance-by-Design)
Upstream Engineering Partnership: Embed with electrical, mechanical, and controls design engineers to proactively guide physical layouts, spacing, component selection, and structural boundaries.
Component Specification Review: Vet third-party components (switchgear, inverters, batteries, breakers) to ensure they carry appropriate listings and ratings for our target operating limits.
Workspace & Clearance Controls: Ensure all packaging designs strictly respect workspace clearances, egress pathways, and safety boundaries mandated by the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA, OSHA, etc.
NRTL Interface: Act as the primary technical point of contact with Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) such as UL, Intertek (ETL), and CSA.
Testing Campaigns: Structure and oversee physical testing programs, including dielectric, short-circuit, thermal runaways, and environmental ingress testing.
Standards, Codes & Regulatory Stewardship
Electrical Safety & Design Codes: Serve as the subject matter expert on the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, NFPA 855, NFPA 75 (Fire Protection for IT Equipment), and UL standards (specifically UL 891, UL 1558, UL 508A, UL 9540, UL 1973, and UL 62368-1).
Industrialized Building Programs: Navigate state-level industrialized (modular) building programs, managing third-party inspection agency coordination for prefabricated structures.
Technical Documentation & Compliance Records
Technical Construction Files (TCF): Author and compile comprehensive technical files, listing documentation, safety labels, and installation/operating manuals.
Maintain rigorous compliance traceability matrices showing how design elements satisfy specific clauses of target standards.
Production Line Alignment: Work alongside manufacturing teams to establish routine factory compliance tests on our assembly floors.
Safety & Risk Mitigation: Experience with safety design techniques such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Hazard Identification (HAZID) studies.
