## Description (the employer's text)

### About the Role

Alarm.com is looking for a Regulatory Compliance Engineer to lead regulatory compliance and product certification strategy across our connected residential and commercial products — security, video, and cloud-integrated IoT platforms. You’ll set the global compliance roadmap, get ahead of emerging regulations before they affect our products, and act as a key interface with testing laboratories and regulatory bodies. You’ll both shape strategy and contribute to certification work that brings products to market, partnering closely with hardware, firmware, and product teams.

### Responsibilities

- Own the global regulatory and certification strategy for residential and commercial security hardware, video, and cloud-integrated systems.
- Monitor emerging regulatory frameworks, security mandates, and standards changes to identify risks and market-entry opportunities early in the product lifecycle, including active engagement with standards bodies and alliances to influence developing requirements where possible.
- Translate regulatory standards into concrete engineering requirements, embedding life-safety, wireless, cybersecurity, and environmental standards into product architecture, test plans, and product requirements.
- Lead certification execution end to end — planning and managing EMC/RF and product-safety test campaigns, authoring submission packages, and driving critical UL fire/burglary life-safety listings to completion.
- Serve as the primary liaison with testing laboratories (e.g., UL, Intertek) and regulatory bodies (e.g., FCC, ISED, EU/CE), and manage carrier certifications (e.g., PTCRB, Verizon).
- Define and maintain compliance systems, records, and standard operating procedures for the broader engineering organization, and ensure audit and carrier-review readiness.
- Serve as the organization’s compliance subject-matter expert, advising and mentoring engineers across teams.
### Required Qualifications

- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Experience: 8+ years in regulatory compliance and hardware product certification within smart home, telecom, security, or related industries, including senior/lead experience.
- Life-safety & wireless standards: Hands-on expertise with life-safety and security standards (e.g., UL 1023, UL 985, UL 864/2050, NFPA 72 or commercial equivalents) and global wireless/EMC regulations (FCC Part 15/68, ISED, EU RED/CE).
- Cybersecurity & privacy regulation: Experience with connected-device cybersecurity and privacy regulation (e.g., EU Cyber Resilience Act, UK PSTI, ETSI EN 303645, FCC Cyber Trust Mark, NDAA Section 889).
- Carrier certification: Familiarity with carrier certification frameworks (e.g., PTCRB, Verizon).
- Leadership: Proven ability to influence cross-functional engineering roadmaps and drive complex certification programs to completion.
### Preferred Qualifications

- Active participation in industry standards bodies or alliances (e.g., Z-Wave Alliance, LoRa Alliance, Connectivity Standards Alliance / Matter, Bluetooth SIG, or relevant working groups).
- Experience with video/audio data privacy requirements (GDPR, US state privacy laws, BIPA).
### Additional Details

- Travel: up to ~15–25% to labs, suppliers, manufacturing sites and conferences.
Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.
