About the Role

A lighting product can be excellent and still be blocked at customs because a declaration is wrong or a test report has expired. This role protects our ability to sell.

As Product Compliance Engineer you will own the technical documentation for our product range, keep certification current, and make sure labels, manuals and declarations match what was actually tested. You will work with engineering on design changes, with supply chain on documentation from suppliers, and with sales on customer questionnaires that arrive with every tender.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain technical files for CE marking: LVD, EMC, RoHS, REACH and applicable battery regulations.

• Plan and book testing with external laboratories; track validity dates and renew before expiry.

• Review design and component changes for compliance impact before release.

• Prepare and verify declarations of conformity, labels, warnings and manual content together with marketing.

• Manage UN38.3 test summaries and transport documentation for lithium batteries.

• Audit supplier declarations and request missing evidence; keep a supplier documentation register.

• Answer customer compliance questionnaires and tender requirements accurately and on time.

• Monitor regulatory changes in target markets and brief the team on what must change.

 

Requirements

• Degree in engineering, quality or a technical discipline, or equivalent experience.

• Three or more years in product compliance for electrical or lighting goods sold into the EU.

• Working knowledge of LVD, EMC, RoHS, REACH and battery transport rules.

• Experience dealing directly with test laboratories and notified bodies.

• Precise documentation habits — you notice when a model number does not match a report.

• Fluent English; German or another EU language helpful.

• Comfortable pushing engineering and suppliers for evidence without stalling projects.

 

What We Offer

• Salary aligned with certification responsibility.

• Budget for training on regulatory changes and standards.

• Direct influence on product design decisions, early in the process.

• A role with visible impact: without your sign-off, nothing ships.
