Luiz,
You can couch the following topics in whatever "buzz words" are in vogue
in your company, but I see the following list as the Product Safety "cycle"
of activities:
- Understand the applicable global product safety design standards.
- Establish any desirable company product safety policies/practices
that exceed the global requirements.
- Understand the applicable tests for proof of conformity
- Understand individual country certification processes
- Communicate requirements to those responsible for the design and/or
certification processes (may be external to your company).
- Review early and final designs for conformity to applicable standards.
- Submit the product for the appropriate certifications, or monitor the process
if not the actual applicant
- Resolve or assist in resolving issues raised by certification bodies.
- Ensure that all of the required certification documents are in place at the
start of manufacture, including any agency FUS procdures.
- Participate in resolving manufacturing and/or field issues as they arise.
- Ensure that certifications are amended to reflect alternate components
and/or manufacturing sites.
- Use field performance as a measure of the soundness of the initial design
parameters.
- Be aware of any emerging significant changes to global requirements.
- Factor all of the above into the requirements for the next product.

Subject: Job Description
Dear Colleagues,
I have been asked to write a complete new job description for a Product
Safety / Codes Compliance Engineer. Although being familiar with this
activity (I'm on it for almost 10 years), I would like to avoid describing
"my job", since this could lead to some kind of bias.
If any of you has a job description of a product safety engineer who is
responsible for getting compliance certifications of electrical products, I
would be very thankful for receiving it.
In order to avoid overflowing this list with attached files, I'd appreciate
receiving the responses through my personal email address.
Regards,
Luiz
