Qualification & Compliance Engineer

About DriveNets
DriveNets is a leader in high-scale disaggregated networking, modernizing how service providers, cloud providers and hyperscalers build their networks. We are expanding our Hardware domain, owning end-to-end platform development across electronics, firmware, thermal-mechanical design, ATE, labs and validation for high-performance, high-speed systems.
About the Role
We are looking for a Qualification & Compliance Engineer to own the qualification and regulatory-certification path of our networking hardware platforms — from design-for-compliance through pre-compliance testing, accredited-lab campaigns, and global market certification. You will combine solid theory in EMC, product safety and environmental engineering with strong hands-on lab capability, partnering with electrical, SI/PI, thermal-mechanical, firmware and product teams to bring products to market on time, on-spec, and certified across all target regions.
Key Responsibilities
Qualification
• Define and execute platform qualification plans covering functional, environmental (temperature, humidity, altitude), thermal/derating, reliability (HALT/HASS, thermal cycling, vibration/shock) and life-cycle stress testing.
• Build qualification matrices, acceptance criteria and pass/fail reports; track issues to closure with the design teams and drive root-cause/corrective-action (8D) analysis.
• Verify designs against the published environmental window (0–40 °C operating, –40 to 70 °C storage, 5–90% RH, up to 3,000 m) and challenge thermal margins with the thermal-mechanical team.
EMC & Regulatory Compliance
• Plan and run pre-compliance EMC testing (radiated/conducted emissions, ESD, EFT/burst, surge, RS/CS immunity) in-house, and interpret results against EN 55032/CISPR 32, EN 55035, FCC Part 15B and the IEC 61000-4-x suite.
• Own accredited-lab certification campaigns and serve as DriveNets’ technical interface to NRTLs and test houses; review test plans, witness testing, and resolve findings.
• Drive global market access: CE, UKCA, FCC, ICES-003, KCC, VCCI, RCM, BSMI, TEC, ANATEL, ICASA and NOM, managing local-representative and in-country testing requirements.
Product Safety
• Drive product-safety compliance to IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368-1 and regional variants: energy-source classification, creepage/clearance, touch-current and temperature evaluations, and component selection (certified PSUs, fans, connectors).
Documentation & Design-for-Compliance
• Compile and maintain technical construction files, Declarations of Conformity, and RoHS/WEEE/REACH material declarations; maintain the compliance status matrix per platform and region.
• Influence design early — review schematics, PCB stack-ups, shielding, grounding, filtering and enclosure concepts with SI/PI and mechanical teams to design compliance in, not test it in.
• Education: B.Sc. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (or equivalent).
• Experience: above 3 years in hardware qualification, EMC and/or regulatory compliance of electronic systems — ideally networking, telecom or high-speed digital products.
• Theory: Working command of EMC fundamentals (emissions/immunity coupling, grounding, shielding, filtering) and product-safety principles under the 62368-1 hazard-based model.
• Standards: Hands-on familiarity with EN 55032/CISPR 32, EN 55035, EN 61000-3-2/-3-3, the IEC 61000-4-x suite, FCC Part 15, ICES-003 and IEC/EN 62368-1.
• Hands-on: Practical lab skill with spectrum analyzers, EMI receivers, LISNs, antennas, ESD/EFT/surge generators, anechoic/semi-anechoic or GTEM setups, plus environmental chambers; able to set up, measure, debug and document.
• Certification process: Experience running campaigns with NRTLs/accredited labs and compiling DoCs and technical files.
• Soft skills: Rigorous, well-organized and detail-driven; strong cross-functional communication and clear technical reporting in English.

Why Join
Join a fast-growing hardware domain where you will own compliance end-to-end for cutting-edge networking platforms, work hands-on with advanced lab and ATE infrastructure, and shape the qualification and certification practice from the ground up.
DriveNets is a rapidly growing software company that has created a radical new way for service providers and hyperscalers to build their networking infrastructure. DriveNets Network Cloud and DriveNets Network Cloud-AI are new innovative networking solutions that apply the cloud architectural approach to high-scale networking. They bring together the scalability of standard Ethernet Clos architecture with the high performance and reliability of service provider networking, delivering optimal networking performance, scale and cost structure for service providers and hyperscalers.
Founded by Ido Susan and Hillel Kobrinsky, two successful telco entrepreneurs, DriveNets Network Cloud is the leading open disaggregated networking solution based on cloud-native software running over standard white boxes.
Over three funding rounds, DriveNets raised $587 million. Its solutions are used by tens of service providers globally and are in proof-of-concept and lab trials at dozens of operators and hyperscalers, consistently ranking #1 in trials for breadth of capabilities and solution quality. AT&T, the largest backbone in the US, deployed DriveNets Network Cloud across its core network, and DriveNets is currently transporting more than 52% of AT&T’s core network traffic. DriveNets is engaged with over 100 Tier-1 operators and cloud-providers on large projects in North America, Asia and Europe.
