Regulatory Engineer

Interested in getting in at the ground floor of a new, disruptive company attacking an important multi-billion-dollar problem? Businesses and consumers continue to demand increasing data services at an exponential rate—streaming, deep learning, analytics, IoT connectivity, and more. What this means is higher-performing CPUs, components, servers, and ultimately data and edge computing centers, all generating excessive heat that is increasingly difficult to manage with traditional cooling systems.

Accelsius is developing revolutionary direct-to-chip, 2-phase cooling technologies that empower and enable Server OEMs, Data Centers, Edge Computing Operators, and 5G Edge deployments to meet performance, sustainability, scale, and cost goals while serving this high-growth market for data services.

We are looking for a Regulatory Engineer to establish and lead our regulatory compliance efforts across product development and global markets. This position will report directly to the Chief Technology and Product Officer and requires a collaborative, detail-oriented engineer who can interpret evolving compliance standards, proactively address regulatory requirements, and enable rapid product launch cycles. The ideal candidate brings strong technical fluency, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is eager to build a function from the ground up.

Role Responsibilities

• Define and execute a regulatory compliance strategy for Accelsius’s liquid cooling systems across North America, Europe, and Asia.
• Identify applicable standards and certifications (e.g., CE, UL, RoHS, WEEE, REACH, FCC) and ensure timely testing, documentation, and registration.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams during early-stage design to embed compliance requirements.
• Manage external test labs and certification partners to complete regulatory testing and submissions.
• Maintain and organize technical files, declarations of conformity, and compliance documentation.
• Monitor global regulatory developments, assess product impacts, and implement necessary design or documentation changes.
• Support customer audits, due diligence processes, and compliance questionnaires.
• Serve as internal subject matter expert on product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), environmental compliance, and related topics.

Qualifications for this role include

• 5–8 years of experience in regulatory engineering, compliance engineering, or similar technical role, ideally with increasing responsibility.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or related field); Master’s preferred.
• Deep understanding of product safety and environmental compliance requirements for electronic or electromechanical systems.
• Experience with CE marking, UL/IEC/EN standards, and environmental directives such as RoHS and REACH.
• Familiarity with electronics cooling, thermal systems, or fluid-handling systems is a plus.
• Startup experience or experience operating with limited existing systems or precedent.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• A proactive, adaptable mindset with a focus on practical solutions.

Key cultural principles:

Self-directed, collaborative, systems thinker, detail-oriented, and customer-obsessed. Must be comfortable navigating ambiguity and building scalable processes from scratch.
