What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Product Certification & Regulatory Lead position at Lion Energy?
Primary Location: American Fork, UT (Hybrid/Remote options available) Target Industries: Energy Storage, Medical Device, Aerospace, Defense, Automotive (EV), Industrial Automation
The Opportunity: Lead the Future of Energy IndependenceLion Energy is looking for a Compliance Champion to lead our product certification strategy. We are a high-growth leader in Energy Storage Systems (ESS), and we believe that the best regulatory minds don’t just come from the energy sector—they come from any industry where safety, reliability, and precision are non-negotiable.
Are you a Regulatory Affairs professional in MedTech, an Airworthiness Lead in Aerospace, or a Compliance Engineer in Defense looking to apply your skills to the Green Energy Revolution? We want your expertise in navigating complex technical frameworks to help us bring life-changing power solutions to the global market.
What You Will DoAs our Regulatory Lead, you are the strategic "Revenue Gatekeeper." You will own the process of moving our high-voltage hardware and software from the R&D lab to the customer’s home or business.
Own the Certification Roadmap: Lead the end-to-end lifecycle for product listings (UL, FCC, etc.) and grid-interactive certifications.
Translate Complexity: Act as the technical "interpreter" between dense regulatory language and our Engineering/Product teams.
Manage External Partners: Serve as the primary liaison for Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) and government program administrators.
Compliance-by-Design: Work cross-functionally to ensure regulatory requirements are baked into the product at the schematic and firmware level—not added as an afterthought.
Market Expansion: Navigate state and utility incentive programs (e.g., CEC, SGIP) to ensure our products qualify for maximum customer value.
We are looking for a process-oriented leader, not just a subject matter expert in energy codes. If you have a track record of successfully certifying complex hardware in a regulated environment, we can teach you the nuances of the energy grid.
Required QualificationsExperience: 5 years of experience in Technical Regulatory Affairs, Product Certification, or Systems Compliance.
Transferable Industry Background: We highly value experience from Medical Devices (FDA/ISO 13485), Aerospace (FAA/DO-160), Defense (MIL-STD), or Automotive (ISO 26262/EV).
Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field (Professional experience or military technical training is also highly valued).
Technical Literacy: Ability to read electrical schematics and understand the relationship between hardware and firmware.
Project Management: Proven ability to manage multiple certification projects with external labs and strict deadlines.
Familiarity with Power Electronics or Energy Storage (ESS) standards.
Knowledge of communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEEE 2030.5).
Experience with grid-interconnection requirements or utility-level listings.
Purpose: Your work directly accelerates the global transition to clean, renewable energy.
Growth: We are scaling fast. You will have a seat at the table in defining our long-term regulatory strategy.
Culture: A collaborative, fast-paced environment where your technical integrity is respected and rewarded.
Compensation: Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work in a high-impact, future-proof industry.
If you have spent your career ensuring that safety-critical systems meet the highest standards, we want to hear from you. Apply today and help us power the world.
