Hi all, Interesting discussion. Here is my 2 cents. Must be about $1.00 worth by now.
I once came upon an interesting compromise as to the organization chart position of compliance. They put it in test or quality, but funded it through the engineering budget. Not perfect, but it prevented engineering from squeezing the last 0.5 dB or hi pot voltage from the device. However it does encourage them to save money and design in compliance. I suppose in the best of all possible worlds this would not be necessary but it did seem to work. A VP of compliance is probably work the best, of course if they chose me for the position.
