About the Role

The Enphase Energy SST Product Innovation Team, part of the Office of the CTO, is responsible for defining, prototyping, and scaling next-generation Enphase power systems. This multi-disciplinary group focuses on medium-voltage power conversion, energy density, and grid-scale deployment. The role requires a Compliance Lead to navigate the complex and evolving standards landscape for solid-state transformers (SSTs), ensuring products meet safety, performance, and grid interconnection requirements.

Responsibilities

Own the SST compliance strategy end-to-end, defining the roadmap from concept through certification and market launch.
Identify all applicable safety, performance, and grid interconnection standards and map the certification pathway and timeline.
Understand the technical rationale, test intent, and engineering origin of each standard clause to guide design decisions and defend technical positions.
Navigate ambiguity in evolving standards at the intersection of power electronics, medium-voltage equipment, transformers, switchgear, and grid interconnection.
Lead certification testing with Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) and agencies, managing test plans, sample submission, and findings resolution.
Integrate compliance requirements into product architecture from the design phase, providing early feedback on technical aspects.
Build and maintain a compliance knowledge base documenting standards, interpretations, agency decisions, and test results.
Drive pre-compliance and internal validation testing to identify and close gaps before formal agency submission.
Represent Enphase on standards development committees and industry working groups to influence industry evolution and gain early visibility into standards changes.

Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
Principal Engineer level requires BS + 15 years, MS + 12 years, or PhD + 8 years of experience.
Ability to track the technical 'why' behind standards, understanding their engineering origin and failure modes.
Proven ability to deal with ambiguity and develop defensible compliance strategies from first principles.
Hands-on experience planning and executing certification test campaigns with NRTLs.
Deep knowledge of applicable standards for MV power electronics, including UL 1741, IEEE 1547, UL 347A, IEC 62477-2, IEC 62109, UL 1562, IEC 60076, IEEE C37 series, IEC 62271, IEEE 1584, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70, NFPA 855, IEC 60664, UL 840, IEC 61000 series, and UL 1998.
Experience with insulation coordination and dielectric testing for MV equipment (1–35 kV).
Ability to manage multi-track certification programs with parallel timelines and cross-functional dependencies.
Solution-oriented thinking, focusing on practical compliance paths and assessing complex regulatory challenges.
