** Summary*
* 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.

In this role, you will not simply audit finished designs. Instead, you will embed directly with our product development teams from day one, acting as a technical co-creator of our architectures. 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.

** Key Responsibilities*
* ** 1. 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 (switch gear, 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.

** 2. Certification Strategy & Agency Management*
* +  
** Roadmap Ownership:
** Define, coordinate, and execute the global product certification strategy for our complete product portfolio.

+  
** 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.

** 3. 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.

** 4. Technical Documentation & Compliance Records*
* +  
** Technical Construction Files (TCF):
** Author and compile comprehensive technical files, listing documentation, safety labels, and installation/operating manuals.

+  
** Traceability Matrix:
** 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.

** Technical Expertise*
* +  
** Standards Proficiency:
** Strong working knowledge of NEC (NFPA 70), IBC (structural and seismic constraints), OSHA regulations, and UL product listings (UL 891, UL 1558, UL 508A, UL 9540/9540A).

+  
** Safety & Risk Mitigation:
** Experience with safety design techniques such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Hazard Identification (HAZID) studies.

** Physical Demands*
* + Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment or manufacturing floor

+ Likely there will be a significant amount of travel between customer and Celestica locations
