Would you like to shape how product compliance supports the next generation of quantum technology? Bluefors is looking for a Product Compliance Manager to take ownership of product and technical compliance across a growing portfolio of advanced cryogenic systems. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on technical expertise with the freedom to build practical ways of working in an international technology company. Bluefors develops and manufactures ultra-low-temperature cooling systems used in quantum computing and scientific research. As its technologies, product portfolio and international customer base evolve, product compliance plays an increasingly important role in enabling innovation and reliable delivery across markets. The Opportunity In this role, you will take ownership of product compliance at Bluefors, ensuring that products meet the relevant regulatory and certification requirements across different markets. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer (CPO) within the Product Management organisation, you will work closely with Product Management, R&D, Operations and external certification partners, providing expert guidance on technical compliance matters and supporting decisions throughout the product lifecycle. Beyond managing day-to-day compliance matters, you will develop the processes, frameworks, and ways of working that embed compliance into product development and decision-making across the organisation. Responsibilities

• Own certification planning across the product portfolio, including approvals for new products, product changes and market expansion, while managing related timelines, costs and risks.
• Translate product roadmaps and evolving regulatory requirements into forward-looking certification plans that support future product and market decisions.
• Assess the compliance implications of engineering, component and supplier changes, and advise R&D and Product Management on applicable standards, certification requirements and approval boundaries.
• Guide certification activities with internal specialists, testing laboratories and certification bodies, including schedules, evidence and approval maintenance.
• Build pragmatic processes, guidance and clear responsibilities that enable teams to address compliance requirements effectively.
• Train and advise internal teams on product compliance requirements, applicable standards and certification processes, helping them incorporate compliance into their everyday work.
• Develop reusable compliance documentation, guidance and standard responses that enable Sales and Service teams to address routine customer questions independently.
• Support complex customer and market-specific compliance questions, including non-standard configurations and new market needs.

Background and Requirements

• Practical experience in applying product safety and EMC standards and managing product certifications, such as CE marking, North American NRTL approvals, IEC 61010-1, IEC 61326 or CB Scheme, or comparable standards and certification schemes.
• The technical judgement and credibility to interpret requirements, challenge decisions constructively and influence stakeholders across the organisation.
• A proactive, hands-on mindset and the ability to develop practical ways of working in a growing organisation.
• A degree in engineering, physics or a related technical field.
• Excellent English communication skills.
