Role summary

Hark, an AI company, is seeking a Compliance Engineer to lead global carrier and regulatory certification for connected consumer electronics and IoT devices. This role involves managing wireless, safety, EMC, and RF exposure compliance, building relationships with carriers and certification bodies, and translating operator requirements into product roadmaps. The ideal candidate has 8+ years of experience in technical program management or wireless engineering, with a deep understanding of wireless technologies (4G LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS) and network interoperability. Strong communication and leadership skills are essential for executive reporting and influencing teams.

About Hark

Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence. One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory.

We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. While today's AI largely operates through chat boxes and decade-old devices, Hark is focused on what comes next: agentic systems that interact naturally with people and the real world.

To get there, we're developing multimodal models and next-generation AI hardware together - designed from the ground up as a single, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems.

Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Certification: Lead global carrier and regulatory certification programs (including FCC, ISED, CE RED, UKCA, PTCRB, and GCF) from early product definition through commercial launch.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Manage launch readiness for wireless, safety, EMC, RF exposure, SAR/MPE, and country-specific type approvals.
  • Strategic Partner Engagement: Build and manage technical relationships with global mobile carriers, test labs, certification bodies, and chipset vendors to understand test plans and drive lab/field testing.
  • Cross-Functional Execution: Partner closely with hardware, software, RF, modem, QA, and product teams to triage testing issues, close certification blockers, and ensure commercial launch readiness.
  • Market Expansion: Translate operator requirements (4G/5G, VoLTE, eSIM, carrier aggregation, roaming) into product roadmaps and engineering execution plans to support entry into new markets.
  • Process Scaling: Establish repeatable processes, compliance matrices, risk-tracking frameworks, and executive dashboards to manage complex certification schedules across multiple products simultaneously.

    • Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, CS, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Experience: 8+ years in technical program management, carrier/regulatory certification, or wireless engineering.
  • Product Expertise: Proven track record of successfully launching connected consumer electronics, IoT devices, wearables, or other carrier-connected hardware globally.
  • Technical Fluency: Deep understanding of wireless technologies (4G LTE, 5G NSA/SA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS) and network interoperability.
  • Communication & Leadership: Exceptional ability to distill complex technical risks for executive reporting, influence teams without formal authority, and hold external partners accountable in ambiguous environments.
