Work with a team of experienced engineers evaluating electrical and electronic control systems used in consumer, commercial and industrial products. Apply engineering fundamentals to the assessment of hardware, software, and embedded control systems. Gain experience in the application of international safety standards, including UL/CSA/IEC 60730-1 for automatic electrical controls. Develop technical expertise in embedded hardware, software-controlled systems, and functional safety engineering.

Participate in laboratory testing, engineering analysis, customer interactions, and project management activities. Ideal for candidates with a strong foundation in electronics, embedded systems, controls, software, or product development who are interested in building technical expertise in product safety and functional safety engineering. Perform engineering evaluations on electrical and electronic control systems to applicable safety standards. Review electrical schematics, circuit designs, software documentation, control system architectures, and technical specifications.

Support project planning activities including scope definition, scheduling, sample requirements, and project estimates. Coordinate laboratory testing activities by preparing test plans, data sheets, and instructions for laboratory personnel based on product designs and applicable requirements. Analyze test results and prepare engineering reports documenting compliance findings. Communicate technical requirements, project status, and evaluation results to customers and internal stakeholders. Investigate hardware, software, and system-level issues identified during product evaluations.

Assist in the assessment of embedded control systems, programmable electronics, sensors, and safety-related control functions. Participate in customer meetings, design reviews, and occasional witness testing activities. Contribute to the development of new test methods, engineering procedures, and continuous improvement initiatives. Maintain knowledge of evolving technologies, embedded control systems, software-enabled products, and applicable safety standards. May represent UL at industry related functions such as seminars and trade shows.
