What you will do 
Are you dedicated to product safety and interested in being part of a global company that prioritizes sustainability? Johnson Controls is seeking an experienced Senior Regulatory Compliance Engineer to join our Engineering team to lead and execute regulatory compliance and agency certification efforts for our products. This role ensures that all products meet relevant safety standards, directives, and regulations throughout the entire product lifecycle—from initial concept and design, through testing and production, to ongoing product support.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional design, engineering, and manufacturing teams as well as external certification bodies, while also operating independently to drive compliance projects to completion. Your expertise in certification processes (UL, CE, UKCA) and regulations will be critical in achieving and maintaining necessary approvals to ensure our products can be confidently marketed and used worldwide.

Johnson Controls is a global leader in manufacturing, delivering compliant products to every region worldwide. There will be counterpart roles in the company’s three major global regions. While each role primarily focuses on regional needs and compliance, there will be times when cross-regional standards work is required. This position is based onsite at our office located in Glendale, WI. Candidates must be commuting distance, or able/willing to relocate.
