Sr. HW Regulatory Compliance Engineer

Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics. Lab126 began in 2004 as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., originally creating the best-selling Kindle family of products. Since then, we have produced devices like Fire tablets, Fire TV, Echo, Ring, and Blink — icons of ambient computing reaching hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. What will you help us create?

The Hardware Safety & Compliance (HWSC) team is the critical bridge between bold hardware innovation and worldwide market access. We don't just check boxes — we embed compliance into the DNA of product design from Day 1, ensuring that hundreds of millions of devices meet the highest standards for electromagnetic compatibility, and radio frequency performance across countries.

We're looking for a Sr. HW Regulatory Compliance Engineer who thrives at the intersection of technical ambiguity and global regulatory strategy. Someone who doesn't wait for designs to land on their desk for review — but instead helps shape those designs from the earliest concept phases, turning regulatory complexity into competitive advantage. The Sr. Regulatory Compliance Engineer position requires expertise in RF System, EMC Design and Design for Regulatory Compliance. The right candidate will be an exemplary practitioner, will set the technical bar for the team and will ensure our products conform with North American and worldwide regulatory standards and compliance requirements. Your expertise in wireless radio technology, EMC best practices and global regulatory standards will be critical as you engage with an experienced cross-functional development team to drive design for compliance and conceive innovative wireless products for customers.

You will contribute to org strategies that address evolving global wireless spectrum standards and requirements. Your role will include solving ambitious and complex compliance challenges through research, engagement with regulatory agencies, hands-on testing, debugging, and validation activities. You must be analytical, able to work effectively across multiple teams and have a strong ability to navigate the global regulatory compliance schemes to enable market access of consumer electronic products. As a technical lead, you will establish standardized approaches and best practices while mentoring and supporting junior engineers. Additionally you must excel at communicating complex regulatory matters to engineering teams, driving compliant designs from early development phases, and make sound technical decisions that balance innovation with compliance requirements.
