About the role

The Hardware Safety & Compliance (HWSC) team at Amazon Lab126 is the critical bridge between bold hardware innovation and worldwide market access. We ensure that hundreds of millions of devices meet the highest standards for electromagnetic compatibility and radio frequency performance across countries.

Responsibilities

• Own compliance architecture for product programs end-to-end — embedding regulatory requirements into hardware design from the earliest concept phases through mass production certification
• Ensure products meet all applicable global regulatory standards across wireless, RF, EMC, and related technologies
• Work closely with the product management team and design team by researching and specifying regulatory and industry compliance requirements
• Drive EMI/EMC and RF compliance by design, do hands-on testing and debugging — partnering with Electrical, Mechanical, and Wireless engineers to guide PCB layout, shielding strategies, and test configurations during early development
• Plan and direct compliance testing of hardware platforms, devices, and accessories with external 3rd party test labs, driving first-pass certification success
• Navigate the global regulatory landscape across FCC, IC, CE, and international certification schemes — anticipating changes before they impact product timelines
• Review product designs for compliance readiness, perform risk assessments, and guide engineering team to integrate requirements early in the product development
• Lead debugging, root cause analysis, and corrective action to address compliance risks or test failures
• Deliver concise and informative compliance updates to leadership, translating complex regulatory matters into clear business impact and recommendations
• Work with manufacturing partners and labs to test and ensure all in-production devices remain compliant with all certifications
• Create mechanisms and best practices that prevent repeat compliance issues and improve certification efficiency across the device portfolio

• 5+ years of experience in one or more wireless technologies (WLAN/BT/Zigbee/Cellular) with hands on compliance testing, data interpretation and debug experience
• Experience in submissions for official certification through relevant compliance bodies such as FCC, ISED, UK, and CE
• Experience working with Asia-based manufacturing partners and test labs
• Hands-on experience in compliance test setup in semi-anechoic chambers and demonstrated experience with test equipments like signal generator, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, call box.
• Demonstrated ability to debug compliance failures at component or system level
