About Safetrust
Safetrust is building the future of identity.
Imagine walking into a building where your phone, watch, or face becomes your secure credential. No badges. No friction. Just seamless, secure access across physical and digital environments.
That's what we do.
Our platform combines mobile credentials, IoT devices, cloud-native architecture, and secure authentication to power access across offices, data centers, and enterprise systems—used by Fortune 200 companies and global partners.
We operate across the United States, Vietnam, and Australia, solving one of the most complex challenges in modern security: how identity works across devices, systems, and the physical world.
Why This Role Matters
This role directly impacts whether our products can be deployed globally.
As a Hardware Compliance Engineer, you will ensure Safetrust devices meet the regulatory, safety, and telecommunications standards required to operate in markets worldwide.
But more importantly—you won't just validate compliance. You will influence how products are designed, ensuring compliance is built in from the start, not fixed at the end.
