Product Compliance Manager

At Nedap in Retail, you ensure that everything related to product compliance is in order so products can be sold worldwide — safely, reliably, and in line with applicable laws and regulations.

"You make sure innovation can scale globally — safely, compliantly, and without compromise."

What are you going to do?

You are responsible for compliance of devices where hardware and software come together. You stay up to date with developments in your field — from EMC and product safety to new cybersecurity regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act — and translate these into concrete impact on our products and design decisions.

You initiate and guide certification and testing processes, ensuring that documentation and evidence are complete and well-structured. At the same time, you monitor compliance, identify risks, and advise on improvements.

You work closely with R&D, product management, operations, and external test labs. You also collaborate with Compliance Managers in other Business Units to share knowledge and continuously strengthen the compliance level of Nedap products.

Your responsibilities

Translating regulations

Translate international compliance requirements into concrete specifications for hardware, firmware, and software.

Compliance by design

Collaborate with R&D teams to ensure compliance and security from the very start.

Certification & testing

Initiate and guide international certification processes (CE, UL, EMC, RF, cybersecurity), sometimes on-site (e.g. in Taiwan).

Risk management

Identify trends, risks, and regulatory changes, and provide advice accordingly.

Portfolio management

Ensure compliance for both existing and new products across global markets.

Documentation

Prepare technical files (TCF) and certification documentation.

Stakeholder management

Collaborate with R&D, Operations, Legal, suppliers, and external test labs.

Your team

You will work in an inspiring and international environment where you are encouraged to take initiative. You will have a high level of responsibility and ownership, supported by extensive in-house facilities for pre-compliance assessments.

You will be part of the R&D domain within Nedap in Retail, where technology is developed that connects the physical and digital worlds — such as RFID solutions and connected devices used worldwide.

You will work closely with engineers, product management, and other compliance experts within Nedap. The culture is open and entrepreneurial: a lot of freedom, a lot of responsibility, and short communication lines.

What's in it for you?

At Nedap, you have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the performance of the international supply chain. You will have a role with significant responsibility, where your decisions influence availability, delivery reliability, and customer satisfaction.

What you get in this role:

• A 13th month, profit sharing, and an attractive pension plan;
• A healthy work-life balance, with full responsibility for your own working hours and vacation days — based on trust;
• Investment in your development through an extensive onboarding program and personal growth opportunities;
• Collaboration with international colleagues who share your drive and energy;
• The opportunity to contribute to innovative solutions within a Digital Twin Tech company.

Required skills

You are well-organized and able to maintain oversight of timelines and deadlines. While you are part of the R&D team, you take initiative independently and take full ownership of your responsibilities.

You are the expert in your field, providing colleagues with insights and keeping them up to date on new developments in compliance. You are naturally curious and stay informed about regulatory developments, such as the RED Delegated Act and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

You also recognize yourself in the following:

• Experience: experience in Product Compliance, including certifications and interpreting ETSI/CENELEC standards.
• Knowledge: strong knowledge of electrical safety, RF (Short Range Devices), antenna technology, EMC, and product safety.
• Language: fluent in English; Dutch is preferred.
• Nice to have: experience with UL, FCC, RED-DA, and the CRA.
