Join us to own regulatory and safety compliance for our radio remote control systems for industrial machinery. You’ll bridge functional safety, RF/electronics, design, and certification, partnering with R&D and external labs from early design through certification and market surveillance.
What you’ll do
Regulatory & Product Compliance
1. Lead product compliance for radio remote controls (EU & global).
2. Interpret/apply: EU RED (2014/53/EU), Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, EMC, LVD / EN 62368‑1, and market approvals (e.g., FCC, IC, MIC, SRRC, ANATEL).
3. Prepare/maintain Declarations of Conformity (DoC) and technical files.
Functional Safety
4. Support compliance to EN ISO 13849‑1/-2
5. Contribute to safety concepts (safety functions/architectures, PL/SIL justification, FMEA, FMEDA, MTTFd, DCavg, B10d).
6. Support safety validation, documentation and audits.
Laboratory Testing & Certification
7. Plan/coordinate/witness testing: RF (EN 300 220 / EN 301 489 / FCC Part 15), EMC, electrical safety, environmental, and functional safety validation.
8. Interface with external labs, Notified Bodies/ExCB, and certification partners; review test plans/reports and drive corrective actions.
Documentation & Quality
9. Maintain structured technical files; ensure traceability Requirements → Design → Tests → Certificates.
10. Support internal/external audits
Minimum qualifications
11. BSc/MSc in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Embedded Systems, or equivalent.
12. 3+ years in product compliance, safety, or test engineering (radio products, industrial electronics, or machinery controls).
13. Hands‑on collaboration with test labs/Notified Bodies/certification agencies.
14. Electronics design basics; awareness of RF & wireless regulations.
15. Familiarity with EMC/electrical safety/env. testing, risk analysis, and safety documentation.
Preferred qualifications
16. Functional safety fundamentals (EN ISO 13849).
17. Experience with radio remote controls or safety‑related control systems.
18. ATEX/IECEx exposure (hazardous areas).
19. Cybersecurity familiarity (IEC 62443, EU CRA‑related practices).
20. Multi‑site/global engineering collaboration; ability to read schematics/basic PCB layouts.
21. Practical exposure to environmental and mechanical qualification testing (e.g., IP rating, vibration, drop, thermal, humidity, salt mist) used in certifying industrial electronics.
Why Join Us
22. Build safety‑critical products used globally, influencing design from day one.
23. Collaborate with experienced multidisciplinary R&D across sites.
24. Gain broad exposure to global certifications and regulatory environments.
Primary location is flexible. The role can be placed in any of the following Hetronic/Methode sites: Germany, Oklahoma (USA), Abensberg, or Milan.
