  • Collaborate with design and engineering teams to recommend product improvements or alternative solutions to meet safety requirements.

  • Conduct risk assessments, hazard analyses, and failure mode and effects analyses (FMEAs).

  • Coordinate and support product testing with third-party labs and internal QA teams.

  • Lead incident investigations related to product safety complaints or recalls and drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.

  • Maintain and update technical documentation, safety certifications, and compliance reports.

  • Monitor changes in relevant product safety regulations and ensure organizational awareness and compliance.

  • Partner with legal and regulatory teams to ensure proper labeling, packaging, and usage instructions.

  • Provide training and guidance on product safety best practices across departments.


Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, or related field) or equivalent experience.

  • 3+ years of experience in product safety, regulatory compliance, or quality assurance in a consumer goods environment.

  • Solid understanding of global product safety regulations and industry standards.

  • Experience with risk analysis tools (e.g., FMEA, fault tree analysis).

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

  • Experience working with third-party testing labs and regulatory agencies is a plus.

  • Certification in product safety or regulatory affairs is a plus (e.g., ASQ, RAC).
