Product Compliance & Certification Manager

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

• 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 escalate 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
