Responsibilities

Lead Safety Investigations: Serve as the senior technical resource for complex product safety investigations, executing 8D methodologies, root-cause analysis, and sustainable CAPA workflows across the portfolio.
Executive Escalation & Triage: Partner with cross-functional teams to create, maintain, and execute an expedited triage and response process for executive and member-facing safety escalations.
Lifecycle Risk Mitigation: Engage with hardware and software product development teams from early concept through running production changes to identify design constraints and mitigate safety risks.
Design & Risk Reviews: Review and approve product construction safety reviews, hazard analyses (FMEA, FTA), and engineering changes prior to release.
Data-Driven Analytics: Build and maintain data tools and dashboards (SQL, Tableau) to analyze safety database trends, track compliance metrics, and surface emerging product robustness risks.
Global Team Alignment: Partner closely with Taiwan-based engineering teams to ensure consistent safety and compliance standards across regional component and OEM/ODM suppliers.
Certification Architecture: Develop formal certification and pre-compliance test plans, serving as the lead technical resource (remote and on-site) for product certifications at third-party test houses (UL, TÜV, Intertek).
Standards & SOP Development: Create and update safety design documents, product communications, and new internal SOPs to embed compliance directly into the development workflow.
Regulatory Intelligence: Perform continuous research on changing global regulations (CPSC, FCC, chemical, mechanical) and communicate actionable insights to internal stakeholders.
Technical Mentorship: Provide guidance, technical direction, and structured problem-solving mentorship across the broader Product Safety and Quality engineering team.
