Delft, Netherlands
You apply directly with the employer. We never charge applicants.
Pay not published. Too few similar jobs show pay for a fair estimate.
You will boost the engineering capacity within the radar team and focus on compliance and certification. You will pick up ongoing certifications like the US certifications for MAX (our bird radar) and military standards testing for IRIS (our drone detection radar) and kick-start the ones to come.
Our products evolve, and this has an impact on compliance. Your role is to assess this, make a plan, and execute the tests necessary to ensure future compliance. To facilitate smooth product development, a test at an accredited company should be a walk in the park because we have already performed proper pre-compliance testing, which you will manage and mature. You can translate the norms into tests and interpret the test result into advice to improve our products.
Furthermore you can enable global market access (GMA) for our products by ensuring that we meet the varying requirements (Electrical Safety/ RF) in our target markets.
Requirements Management & Tailoring: Identify compliance requirements during the project conceptual phase. This includes both regulatory laws and, crucially, developing test profiles based on product tailoring and mission profiles for military standards (e.g., environmental or shock/vibe profiles).
External Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact and negotiator with external partners, including accredited test laboratories, regulatory bodies (FCC, notified bodies), and specialized external consultants.
Market Access Strategy: Identify appropriate certification paths with foreign regulatory agencies and military customers to gain global market access (GMA), then plan and oversee the execution of (re)certification tests.
Lifecycle Management: Keep all current product certificates up-to-date with evolving laws, regulations, and product updates.
Technical Documentation: Compose and update test plans for approval processes (e.g., STANAG, CE, FCC, NRTL) and generate safety assessments.
Capability Growth: Mature internal pre-compliance test capabilities to reduce risk before formal external testing.
The Core Essentials
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar technical field.
Proven experience in managing relationships and projects with external parties, such as accredited test houses, NRTLs, regulators, or specialized engineering consultants.
Solid technical background in at least one major testing discipline: Environmental, Safety, Radio.
Extensive experience with NRTLs /UL approval processes and North American electrical safety standards or thorough understanding of FCC regulations.
Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to translate complex norms into actionable engineering advice.
Nice to Have
Military Standards Expert: Deep knowledge of MIL-STD (e.g., 810/461) or STANAG AECTP requirements. Experience in tailoring requirements and developing test plans based on Life Cycle Environmental Profiles (LCEP).
Specialist knowledge in RF testing and certification. Deep technical understanding of radio parameters, spectrum allocation, and associated international standards (ETSI/FCC).
