Product Safety Engineer

Job Title:

Product Safety Engineer

The Compliance Engineer supports product-safety compliance and certification activities for industrial hardware products, with a focus on turbine fuel valves and actuators. This role is not a product-design position and does not specialize in EMC or EMI compliance. Instead, you work closely with product engineering, suppliers, laboratories, quality teams, and external certification agencies to ensure products meet all applicable electrical, mechanical, pressure, machinery, hazardous-location, and regional safety requirements.

You play a key role in connecting standards, product requirements, technical documentation, testing, audits, and certification to ensure products are properly tested, documented, and approved for market use.

• Support product-safety compliance and certification activities for industrial hardware products, including turbine fuel valves and actuators.
• Ensure products meet applicable electrical, mechanical, pressure, machinery, hazardous-location, and regional safety requirements.
• Collaborate closely with product engineering, laboratories, suppliers, quality teams, and external certification agencies to coordinate compliance efforts.
• Review and interpret engineering drawings and technical product documentation to verify compliance with relevant standards and requirements.
• Coordinate product testing activities, including mechanical and environmental tests such as temperature, water, pressure, and other laboratory evaluations.
• Support internal, external, and product-certification audits by preparing documentation, responding to findings, and facilitating corrective actions as needed.
• Maintain organized technical files and certification documentation to ensure accurate records and traceability of compliance activities.
• Assist with compliance and certification work for new-product-introduction projects, including planning, scheduling, and tracking certification tasks.
• Connect standards, product requirements, technical documentation, testing results, audits, and certification outcomes into a cohesive compliance approach.
• Work with external certification agencies, such as CSA and similar organizations, to obtain and maintain required product certifications.
• Contribute to quality systems and regulatory compliance processes, helping to improve procedures and maintain adherence to product-safety standards.
• Participate in cross-functional collaboration with mechanical and electrical engineers to address compliance questions and resolve issues.
• Provide project coordination or project-management support for compliance-related initiatives, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met.
• Help ensure that all products are properly tested, documented, certified, and able to meet applicable market and safety requirements.

• Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• At least three years of relevant professional experience, with five or more years preferred.
• Experience working with physical products, hardware, manufacturing, assembly, testing, quality, certification, or a related engineering environment.
• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings and technical product documentation.
• Exposure to product-safety standards, regulatory requirements, certification activities, quality systems, or compliance audits.
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering teams, laboratories, suppliers, quality groups, or external agencies.
• Strong documentation skills, with the ability to create, organize, and maintain detailed technical and certification records.
• Strong organizational skills to manage multiple compliance tasks, projects, and documentation streams effectively.
• Ability to work onsite three days per week at the Lincoln campus in Fort Collins, Colorado in a hybrid work arrangement.

• Experience with one or more of the following: IEC standards, ATEX requirements, hazardous-location products, Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), pressure safety, machinery safety, CE marking, electrical safety, or marine-industry certification.
• Experience supporting internal, external, or product-certification audits.
• Experience working with external certification agencies such as CSA or similar organizations.
• Manufacturing or product-assembly experience with physical industrial hardware.
• Experience supporting mechanical laboratory testing, including temperature, water,…
