- Certification Management: Lead the coordination of third-party product testing, certification filings, and audits (e.g., UL listings, CE marking).
- Risk & Hazard Analysis: Conduct formal Product Safety Risk Assessments, including FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and Fault Tree Analysis, to validate design robustness.
- Technical Documentation: Author and maintain technical files, Declarations of Conformity, and safety documentation required for market access and regulatory submission.
- Post-Market Surveillance: Assist in the analysis of field data, customer feedback, and product returns to identify potential safety trends or necessary design improvements.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in product development, quality engineering, or regulatory compliance.
- The work location for this role is in Rochester, NY (Relocation assistance provided if not already local).
- In-depth familiarity with global safety and compliance standards relevant to our product sector.
- Strong background in product testing methodologies, hardware/software validation, and engineering design documentation.
- Ability to balance aggressive product development timelines with the strict requirements of regulatory safety.
- Experience with international market entry requirements (e.g., EU MDR, RoHS, REACH).
- Certification as a Regulatory Affairs Professional or specialized training in Product Safety.
- Familiarity with cross-functional project management tools (e.g., Jira, PLM systems).
- GE Vernova will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States for this opening. Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a drug screen (as applicable).
