Regulatory Compliance Engineer (m/f/d) in Broxburn

Key Responsibilities

• Project Delivery: Implement and manage the certification process for assigned projects, ensuring products meet strict requirements for global markets. Act as the primary point of contact/consultant to the project team in the areas of:
• Chemical Compliance – Restricted Substances: banned and restricted substances, tracking and collection of test reports to ensure compliance requirements are met.
• Chemical Compliance – Food Contact Materials: collecting and maintaining test reports from suppliers against EU regulation and EU national differences, as well as US FDA and China GB standards.
• Labelling & Packaging Compliance: ensuring the product labelling and packaging regulatory requirements across all markets are met.
• Technical Standards Application: ensure all standards (gas and electrical) are properly accounted for and applied/followed including gas appliance regulations, electrical safety (complete regional coverage), wireless/EMC certifications and functional safety principles.
• Operational Planning: Plan 6–12 months ahead, aligning your individual work with department goals and keeping stakeholders informed.
• Problem Solving: Solve most functional problems independently on a week-to-week basis and adapt quickly to unforeseen circumstances.
• Technical Specification: Distill dense regulatory standards (e.g., IEC, EN, UL, FCC/IC, AS/NZS, GB) into clear engineering specifications and design inputs.
• Documentation: Produce and maintain compliance declarations and product technical files, ensuring they meet all regulatory requirements.
• External Liaison: Act as the vital link between Ooni and test labs; quality-check and challenge work from external partners.
• Data Accuracy: Assess data fairly to make well-informed decisions, knowing when to seek support from senior members for decisions involving incomplete data.
• EMC & Transient Voltages: Navigate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), impulse, and transient voltage requirements as part of certification planning.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Experience: electrical or firmware engineering with a track record of navigating consumer goods regulations.
• Technical Analysis: Hands-on experience with Root-Cause Analysis (RCA) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA / PFMEA).
• Communication: Ability to summarise complex information and present it confidently to an audience of peers or your immediate team.
• EMC Experience: Proven ability to assess EMC, impulse, and transient voltage test results and coordinate retests with labs.
• Awareness of functional safety principles (IEC 60730) – sufficient to understand test reports and escalate non-conformities to the subject matter expert. No independent delivery required.
• Working knowledge of key regulatory/compliance requirements - common to our types of products including but not limited to Regulatory, Labelling & Packaging, Cybersecurity and Gas & Electric Technical Standards across the EU, US, Australia and China.

Nice to have:

• Experience of managing compliance requirements within a heavily regulated industry, for instance medical, automotive or aerospace.
• A proactive understanding of upcoming digital and cybersecurity legislation (such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act taking effect in Jan 2027) and how it impacts product roadmaps.
