About Certivo

evidence

Why this role

product safety & quality

What you’ll do

• Scope market access

  for real products (e.g., control panels, machinery with drives, lab instruments) across U.S./EU routes: Listing/Field Label, CE LVD/Machinery, UKCA, CB Scheme.
• Break down safety standards (UL 508A, NFPA 70/79, IEC/EN 60204-1, EN/IEC 61439, ISO 13849-1/-2, UL/EN/IEC 61010-1, UL 61800-5-1) into

  deterministic, testable rules

  (scope, data quality, thresholds, calculations, expiry/freshness, aggregation, exceptions, risk scoring).
• Define the

  technical file/build packet

  : wiring diagrams, BOM with safety-relevant parts, rating plate/markings (incl.

  SCCR

  where required), OCPD & conductor sizing calcs, enclosure/IP/NEMA evidence, routine electrical test records (withstand & PE continuity), functional-safety artifacts, risk assessments, DoCs/labels.

• Encode rules for software

  : specify inputs/units, outputs, messages, and versioning; write rule tables/JSON DSL that our engine and LLM tooling can evaluate deterministically.
• Design

  test & inspection plans

  factories can run—levels, methods, sampling, acceptance limits, records & traceability.
• Triage

  supplier evidence

  (UL/CB reports, test certs, SDS): assess completeness/aging, raise precise requests, and document acceptable alternatives.
• Partner with Product/Engineering on

  schemas, audit trails, and change control

  ; create unit-test scenarios so rules stay stable as standards evolve.
• Join key customer calls (engineering, quality, auditors) to unblock safety/quality topics and align on acceptance criteria.
• Capture learnings into

  checklists, templates, and auto-validation hints

  that become reusable product features.

What great looks like (first 90 days)

• Two product profiles scoped end-to-end with correct routes/standards and

  top-risk checks

  identified (SCCR, PE continuity, creepage/clearance, markings).
• A balanced

  ruleset (≥12) live

  in our engine with unit tests and clear messages.
• A

  factory-ready test plan

  adopted by a pilot customer.
• Supplier-evidence triage that measurably reduces last-mile documentation issues.
• A simple

  dashboard metric

  for evidence freshness and risk that the team reviews weekly.

You have

• 6–10+ years

  in product safety/compliance for industrial equipment, machinery/panels, or lab instrumentation.
• Hands-on with

  UL/IEC/EN

  safety standards (at least two of: UL 508A, IEC/EN 60204-1, EN/IEC 61439, ISO 13849-1/-2, UL/EN/IEC 61010-1, UL 61800-5-1).
• Proven experience assembling

  technical files

  , determining

  SCCR

  , and leading routine electrical tests (dielectric/withstand, PE continuity), labeling/marking reviews, and documentation sign-off.

• Systems mindset:

  comfortable turning narrative requirements into

  structured data and rules

  (tables, formulas, thresholds), speaking the language of schemas/JSON/IDs/versions.
• Clear writing, precise diagrams, and calm communication with engineers, test labs, and auditors.

Nice to have

• CE Machinery risk assessments; CB Scheme familiarity.
• Functional safety basics (PL, PFHd, stop categories) and how they intersect with docs/testing.
• EMC/EMI exposure (coordination with labs and CE/RED inputs).
• Comfort reviewing SQL-ish queries or Python notebooks to validate assumptions (no heavy coding required).

How we work

• AI-first:

  your rules become software—evaluated by our evidence engine and surfaced via LLM-assisted workflows (with guardrails).

• Remote-first (U.S.)

  with Pacific time overlap; light travel to labs/customers (≤10%).
• We bias to

  written plans

  , quick experiments, and shipping.
