Position Overview
International Motors is looking for a Senior Compliance Engineer – Manufacturing and Product Compliance to help ensure our commercial vehicles and engines meet regulatory, certification, quality, and compliance requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, regulatory compliance, product development, and data analytics. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Service, and Program teams to identify compliance risks, evaluate engineering and manufacturing changes, investigate build and product issues, and develop solutions that keep our products compliant from development through production and into the field.
You’ll also use data and digital tools such as Power BI, Databricks, SQL, and Python to identify trends, monitor compliance performance, improve reporting, and proactively manage product and manufacturing compliance risks.
If you enjoy technical problem-solving, manufacturing operations, regulatory requirements, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement, this is an opportunity to make a direct impact on the quality, compliance, and performance of commercial vehicle products.
Responsibilities
- Support manufacturing and product compliance activities across engine and vehicle production, ensuring regulatory and certification requirements are maintained.
- Review manufacturing build records, emissions data, label build-error reports, and other production data to identify compliance risks, trends, and recurring issues.
- Evaluate and approve customer requests, engineering changes, manufacturing changes, and product updates to ensure regulatory and certification requirements are maintained.
- Partner with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Service, and Program teams to investigate product and production compliance issues and develop practical technical solutions.
- Provide engineering and regulatory guidance throughout the product development, launch, production, and product lifecycle.
- Support engine and vehicle emissions exemption processes, including regulatory tracking, documentation, reporting, and coordination with government agencies.
- Support product certification, regulatory submissions, compliance milestones, and agency reporting.
- Identify potential compliance issues during product development and manufacturing and work cross-functionally to implement effective corrective and preventive actions.
- Evaluate the compliance impact of new products, engineering changes, manufacturing processes, components, and vehicle configurations.
- Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards, reports, and digital analytics solutions to monitor manufacturing and product compliance performance.
- Use SQL, Python, Databricks, and other data tools to analyze large datasets, identify trends, and proactively manage compliance risk.
- Help strengthen Product Compliance Management Systems and processes that support compliance from product development through production and field operation.
- Lead assigned compliance projects and cross-functional workstreams, managing timelines, risks, deliverables, and stakeholder communication.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives that improve compliance processes, manufacturing controls, data quality, reporting, and operational efficiency.
- Prepare technical documentation, regulatory reports, presentations, and recommendations for engineering leadership and external stakeholders.
Minimum Requirements
