Senior Regulatory Test Engineer

Ubiquiti•Draper, UT

About The Position

The Senior Regulatory Test Engineer leads the evaluation of Ubiquiti products against worldwide EMI, EMC, RF, safety, and cybersecurity regulatory requirements. The role develops test strategies and detailed test plans, interprets new and changing standards, organizes complex test programs, and drives technical alignment across engineering, compliance, product, and external laboratory partners. It calls for senior-level judgment, mentoring other test engineers, and translating testing experience and evolving regulatory requirements into repeatable internal practices and policies. The engineer supports product lines including wireless access points, gateways, routing products, and related network equipment. The position also supports ISO 17025 laboratory accreditation activities and prepares technical documentation for internal records, certification submissions, and compliance audits.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
At least 5 years of hands-on regulatory, EMC, RF, safety, or wireless compliance testing experience.
Ability to create test plans, define test coverage, organize complex test programs, and make sound technical decisions with limited supervision.
Strong working knowledge of EMC and RF test instrumentation, including spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, antennas, coupling clamps, field probes, ESD simulators, power supplies, and product monitoring tools.
Experience with EMC test automation and laboratory software.
Ability to interpret regulatory standards, apply them to new product architectures, and translate requirements into practical internal test procedures and policies.
Hands-on experience debugging radiated and conducted emissions, immunity, wireless performance, product configuration, and communication monitoring issues.
Working knowledge of analog and digital electronics, electromagnetic theory as applied to EMC testing, and communication interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, CAN, LIN, and wireless protocols.
Experience generating and reviewing detailed EMC, RF, or safety test reports and technical documentation suitable for certification bodies, external labs, and internal audits.
Strong organization, prioritization, written communication, and cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to manage multiple programs and aggressive delivery targets.
Self-managed, results-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with ambiguous technical and regulatory questions.

Nice To Haves

Experience testing wireless, Wi-Fi, networking, IoT, or communications products.
Understanding of ISO 17025 laboratory accreditation, quality systems, and test method validation.
Familiarity with cybersecurity regulatory requirements and emerging product security obligations.
Experience with EMC test automation and laboratory software such as EMC32, Nexio, BAT-EMC, Keysight tools, or similar systems.

Responsibilities

Lead EMI, EMC, RF, safety, and cybersecurity test planning for Ubiquiti product lines.
Create comprehensive test plans and test readiness checklists defining standards, configurations, operating modes, sample requirements, instrumentation, acceptance criteria, and schedule dependencies.
Perform and oversee EMC and RF testing in accordance with FCC, ISED, EU, and other global requirements and applicable standards.
Review, analyze, and interpret test data; identify compliance risks; and communicate recommendations to engineering, product, operations, and certification teams.
Develop, validate, and improve EMC and RF emissions and immunity test setups.
Develop internal test policies, laboratory procedures, troubleshooting guides, and decision criteria based on product experience and revised standards.
Assess product changes for EMC, RF, safety, and cybersecurity impact; determine regression testing needs; and document technical rationale for homologation and regulatory approvals.
Lead EMC and RF troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for radiated and conducted emissions, immunity failures, and configuration-related test issues.
Mentor engineers and technicians on test methods, instrumentation, report quality, lab discipline, and regulatory interpretation; review technical work for completeness and accuracy.
Coordinate test schedules, equipment readiness, sample availability, external laboratory engagement, and issue escalation to meet launch timelines while maintaining compliance quality.
Generate and approve detailed test reports, technical justifications, and supporting documentation for internal records, certification submissions, and compliance audits.
Support ISO 17025 laboratory accreditation, including method validation, equipment control, record quality, corrective actions, and continuous improvement.
