About Certivo

Certivo turns regulatory evidence into market access. Our AI, CORA, automates supplier outreach, document validation, and rule mapping so launches don’t slip and shipments don’t sit. We pair automation with deep industrial domain expertise to deliver audit‑ready technical files and certifications—fast.

The Role

Own product safety and quality outcomes for industrial customers. You will select the right standards for each sub‑category, design and drive test plans with accredited labs (CB/NRTL), assemble airtight technical files, advise engineering on design‑for‑compliance, and encode your playbooks into CORA so the next program moves faster.

Scorecard (what success looks like)

30 days

• Complete Certivo & CORA onboarding; shadow two to three active industrial safety programs.
• Produce an applicability matrix for one representative industrial product family and two markets (EU and US/Canada): core safety standard, EMC scope, markings/labeling, factory inspection needs.
• Draft a technical file index and run a supervised supplier evidence campaign for safety‑critical components.

60 days

• Own one to two workstreams end‑to‑end: test plan to lab quote to sample readiness to certification.
• Achieve at least 90% document and metadata completeness in Certivo for assigned scope (owner, part, product × site × market, expirations).
• Establish a baseline first‑pass rate with labs and close at least 80% of minor nonconformities before retest.

90 days

• Deliver two market‑ready technical files or certification renewals on time with no critical lab findings and no more than two minor findings each.
• Raise evidence completeness to at least 92% and implement change‑control hooks so ECR/ECOs trigger re‑validation.
• Publish a reusable Industrial Safety Compliance Matrix and an initial CORA rule pack (decision trees and checks for creepage/clearance, components, labeling, report ingestion).

6–12 months

• Reduce time‑to‑certificate by at least 25% versus baseline and maintain at least 95% of assigned products with current, mapped certifications (product × site × market) in Certivo.
• Close external audit findings in 15 business days median with zero critical repeat findings.
• Mentor junior analysts and contribute three to five automation/rule assets per quarter to the Certivo library.
