JOB SUMMARY

At Jabil, we are proud to be a trusted partner for the world’s leading brands, providing comprehensive engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions. This position supports Jabil’s semiconductor capital-equipment business by providing technical leadership for product safety, regulatory compliance, industry standards, and quality-management requirements.

The Senior Regulatory and Compliance Engineer will serve as a subject-matter expert for the design, manufacture, modification, and certification of industrial control panels and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The position requires advanced, hands-on expertise in UL 508A, including panel construction requirements, component selection, short-circuit current rating determination, technical documentation, and support of UL-listed panel-shop activities.

To provide broader organizational value, the role will also support applicable SEMI safety guidelines, ISO management-system standards, international product-safety requirements, customer specifications, and site quality-system processes. The engineer will work across design engineering, industrial and manufacturing engineering, quality, operations, supply chain, customers, and third-party certification organizations to ensure that products and manufacturing processes meet applicable regulatory and contractual requirements.

The position will be located in either Penang/Batu Kawan, Malaysia, or Guadalajara, Mexico, based on the selected candidate and business requirements.

• Interpret and apply UL 508A requirements to electrical schematics, panel layouts, bills of material, wiring practices, overcurrent protection, enclosure construction, markings, and production processes.
• Determine and document short-circuit current ratings, including application of UL 508A Supplement SB and evaluation of component combinations.
• Review electrical designs and component selections for use of appropriately Listed or Recognized components and applicable conditions of acceptability.
• Use UL Product iQ and related certification resources to verify component status, ratings, categories, and installation limitations.
• Support the establishment, maintenance, or expansion of Jabil industrial control-panel certification and labeling capabilities.
• Act as a technical interface with UL Solutions, other Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories, inspectors, customers, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction, as applicable.
• Support UL follow-up inspections, surveillance audits, findings, corrective actions, and updates to controlled procedures.
• Develop and maintain UL 508A design guidelines, engineering checklists, standard work, approved-component practices, and compliance records.
• Train engineers, manufacturing personnel, quality inspectors, and technical staff on UL 508A requirements and compliant panel-construction practices.
• Maintain awareness of revisions to UL 508A and associated standards and translate changes into design, documentation, manufacturing, and training actions.

Semiconductor Equipment Component Compliance

• Interpret and apply relevant SEMI safety guidelines to semiconductor manufacturing, measurement, assembly, and test equipment.
• Lead or support equipment component evaluations against SEMI S2, including electrical, mechanical, chemical, fire, radiation, ventilation, emergency-control, and related EHS considerations.
• Support ergonomic design and equipment component assessments in accordance with SEMI S8.
• Facilitate product risk assessments and risk-reduction activities in accordance with SEMI S10 and applicable customer methodologies.
• Evaluate additional SEMI guidelines based on equipment scope, including SEMI S1, S3, S6, S13, S14, S18, S22, S23, S27, and S28.
• Prepare, review, or coordinate technical documentation and objective evidence required for customer acceptance or independent SEMI equipment evaluations.
• Engage early in product introduction and design-transfer activities to ensure regulatory and compliance requirements are incorporated before design release and production.
• Participate in design reviews, DFx reviews, hazard analyses, equipment qualification, and engineering change control.
• Coordinate external compliance assessments and resolve findings with internal engineering teams, customers, and third-party evaluators.

Global Product Regulatory Compliance

• Determine applicable product-safety, machinery, electrical, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental requirements for customer products and target markets.
• Support compliance to applicable standards and regulations, which may include:
  • NFPA 70, National Electrical Code
  • NFPA 79
  • CSA requirements
  • IEC 60204-1
  • IEC/UL 61010 series
  • IEC 61439 series, where applicable
  • EU Machinery requirements
  • CE marking requirements
  • UKCA requirements
  • RoHS and REACH
  • Applicable Mexico and Malaysia regulatory requirements
• Develop product compliance matrices identifying applicable requirements, evidence, responsible owners, open gaps, and approval status.
• Review supplier certifications, declarations, test reports, material declarations, and technical documentation for acceptability.
• Assess regulatory impact of engineering changes, component substitutions, alternate-source approvals, and obsolescence events.
• Support customer inquiries, compliance declarations, technical-file development, and product-certification deliverables.
• Coordinate compliance testing and certification activities with qualified laboratories and certification bodies.

ISO and Quality-Management-System Support

• Support the effective implementation and continual improvement of Jabil management-system processes, with primary emphasis on ISO 9001.
• Interpret applicable quality-system and product-realization requirements and translate them into practical engineering and manufacturing controls.
• Participate in internal, customer, registrar, and regulatory audits.
• Support corrective and preventive action, root-cause analysis, risk management, document control, training, supplier controls, and change-management processes.
• Develop and maintain procedures, work instructions, compliance plans, checklists, technical files, and objective evidence.
• Support relevant management-system standards based on site and customer requirements, potentially including:
  • ISO 9001, Quality Management Systems
