Own the certification path that brings industrial humanoid robotics to market.
Your Role & Responsibilities
Own and drive the full regulatory and certification pathway required to place AEON on the European market and, over time, global markets
Map the complete regulatory landscape — product safety, functional safety, connectivity, cybersecurity, and AI regulation — and produce a clear, prioritized roadmap for commercial market access
Build and maintain a robust product safety concept, including structured hazard analysis (FMEA or equivalent) and risk assessments aligned with the Machinery Directive, EU AI Act, and relevant functional safety standards
Build and maintain audit-ready Technical Files covering risk assessments, declarations of conformity, test reports, and all required supporting documentation
Manage all product approvals, certifications, and recertifications — CE marking, Machinery Directive, RED, EN 18031, and others as applicable
Own relationships with notified bodies, testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities
Drive full project management of the certification programme — tracking actions, maintaining schedules, and resolving dependencies
Communicate regulatory status clearly to engineering, operations, commercial, and leadership teams
Identify and manage external partners; make informed build‑vs‑buy decisions on internal versus outsourced capability
Help define and scale the compliance function as the company and product portfolio grow
Required Technical & Professional Expertise
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field; additional qualification in regulatory affairs or functional safety is a strong plus
Minimum 5 years of experience in product certification, regulatory compliance, or functional safety in a hardware-intensive sector — industrial machinery, robotics, automotive, medical devices, or similar
Proven track record of taking a complex hardware product through a full certification process in the European market, from initial gap analysis through to Declaration of Conformity
Strong working knowledge of CE marking, Machinery Directive, and at least one of: RED, IEC 62061 / ISO 13849, EU AI Act high-risk requirements, or EMC/EMV
Hands‑on experience with hazard analysis and risk assessment methodologies — FMEA, HAZOP, or similar
Experience structuring and producing Technical Files to a standard that survives external audit
Strong project management discipline with the ability to define plans, track rigorously, and elevate early
Clear communicator across both technical and non‑technical audiences
Comfortable building processes from scratch in a fast‑moving, evolving environment
Fluent English required; German or another European language is a meaningful plus
