Electrical Compliance Test Engineer

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.

The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.

Who We Are

We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Electrical Engineering Compliance Test Engineer to join our hardware engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for planning, executing, and documenting compliance testing activities to ensure our products meet global regulatory and industry standards (e.g., FCC, CE, UL, EMC, RoHS). You will work cross-functionally with Systems, ME, product, and quality teams to identify potential compliance risks and help bring products to market efficiently and safely.

Responsibilities

• Plan and perform compliance testing for electronic systems, including EMC/EMI, safety, environmental, and RF certifications.

• Support pre-compliance testing during product development to identify and mitigate issues early.

• Interface with external labs to coordinate formal certification testing.

• Interpret standards and requirements (FCC Part 15, CISPR, IEC, UL, CE, etc.) and ensure product designs meet applicable criteria.

• Develop and maintain test procedures, protocols, and reports.

• Collaborate with design engineers to resolve compliance issues, including suggesting layout or shielding changes.

• Maintain and calibrate compliance test equipment as needed.

• Keep up to date with changes in regulatory standards and communicate impacts to engineering teams.

• Assist in building test setups (test fixtures, jigs, mockups) and debugging failed tests.

• Document findings and present clear recommendations for corrective actions.

Qualifications  

• We thrive in a dynamic environment alongside smart, passionate, and creative individuals. We seek team members who embody the following experience.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

  • 3+ years of experience in compliance or validation testing for electronics.

  • Solid understanding of EMC/EMI, RF, and safety testing methods and relevant global standards.

  • Experience using spectrum analyzers, signal generators, LISNs, GTEM cells, and other test equipment.

  • Knowledge of PCB design practices that affect EMI/EMC performance.

  • Strong documentation and communication skills.

  • Ability to work independently and in a team-oriented environment.

What makes you standout

• Experience with consumer electronics, robotics, medical devices, or automotive systems.

• Hands-on experience with FCC Part 15B/C/E, CE EMC/LVD directives, or UL/CSA standards.

• Familiarity with environmental testing (vibration, temperature, humidity).

• Experience with test automation and data acquisition tools (e.g., LabVIEW, Python scripts).
