About the Job

Requirements

  • More than 5 years of hands-on experience in product certification, conformity assessment, or regulatory engineering for mechanical engineering, robotics, or comparable complex systems.
  • Expert knowledge of EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, CE marking, ISO 13849, ISO 10218, IEC 61508, ISO 12100, and EMC/LVD requirements.
  • Demonstrated expertise developing certification strategies for semi-standardized or novel areas without complete standards coverage, and defending technical arguments for novel robotic architectures, including humanoids and AI-powered systems, before notified bodies.
  • Substantial experience interacting directly and collaboratively with notified bodies, testing laboratories, and certification authorities, and negotiating project scope, schedules, and conformity-assessment routes at technical and organizational levels.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the lead technical authority for certification standards and compliance strategies across the robot product portfolio, and act as the central expert for complex certification decisions.
  • Develop certification strategies for novel robot architectures, including collaborative robots, mobile manipulators, and humanoids, where standards coverage is incomplete or evolving; advance risk-based arguments in semi-standardized areas.
  • Build and maintain the certification case, define argumentation frameworks, evidence mapping, and compliance matrices, and assess design evidence and test reports for certification readiness and technical robustness.
  • Act as the primary senior-level technical contact for notified bodies and certification authorities, representing the company in complex negotiations about scope, technical feasibility, and conformity routes.
  • Design and deliver targeted training and mentoring programs for the Certification Engineering team, building internal capabilities in certification strategy, standards interpretation, and work with notified bodies.
  • Monitor standards development, including ISO/TR 23482, ISO 13482, ISO/TR 25785-1, the impact of the EU AI Act, and autonomous robotics guidelines; proactively assess effects on certification scope, timelines, and strategy.
  • Document certification strategies, precedents, lessons learned, and risk-based argumentation frameworks to build institutional knowledge and accelerate future product certification cycles.
  • Own system-level requirements, integration, and coordination, including architectural tasks as needed.

Desired Qualifications

  • Relevant experience at a notified body, such as TÜV, Exida, or SGS.
  • Knowledge of ISO 26262 and ISO/PAS 21448 (SOTIF).

About the Company

Neura Robotics

Cognitive robots with perception, manipulation, collaboration

Neura Robotics builds cognitive robots for industrial and service settings, combining perception, manipulation, and human collaboration. It develops both the hardware and the software stack for Physical AI, creating robot platforms like MAiRA, MAV, LARA and MiPA along with training infrastructure. The system works by integrating sensing, decision-making, and manipulation capabilities on a hardware-software stack that can be deployed in large-scale production, with the company planning robots fleets and NEURA Gyms for ongoing training and improvement. What sets Neura Robotics apart is its end-to-end approach to Physical AI, including a focus on mass production, an established global deployment plan, and a broad ecosystem of strategic backers and partners that support scaling and international expansion. The goal is to enable worldwide deployment of its robot platforms and associated training infrastructure, turning physical AI into widely available industrial and service automation.
