Role Scope- Own machine risk assessments for robotic work cells, AGVs, conveyance systems, and cobot deployments on the production floor, specifying safeguarding controls per ANSI/RIA R15.06, R15.08, ISO 10218-1/2, ISO/TS 15066, and the ANSI B11 series.
- Lead incident investigations using 5-Why and fault tree analysis, drive corrective and preventive actions to closure, and serve as the site liaison to ADOSH for inspections, citations, and OSHA 300/300A record-keeping.
- Chair the facility's Joint Health and Safety Committee, run the routine inspection program of walkthroughs and Gemba observations, and report leading and lagging safety KPIs to plant leadership monthly.
- Partner with Engineering during equipment commissioning and capital projects to integrate safety-by-design principles and validate lockout and tag out procedures.
- Own the manufacturing safety program budget and third-party safety consultant relationships, and manage and develop the safety specialists and technicians assigned to the floor.
What We're Looking ForThe below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.- You've conducted machine risk assessments per ANSI/RIA R15.06, R15.08, ISO 10218-1/2, ISO/TS 15066, or the ANSI B11 series, and turned findings into safeguarding specs that engineering actually built.
- You hold a technical engineering background (Occupational Safety, Industrial, Mechanical, Chemical, or Environmental Engineering, or a closely related field), because signing off on automation safety in a high-automation plant requires it.
- You've managed and developed safety specialists, coordinators, or technicians, and owned a program budget and vendor relationships, not just directed contractors.
- You've led root-cause investigations using 5-Why or fault tree analysis on a manufacturing floor, and closed out the corrective actions, not just filed them.
- You've been the site point of contact for an OSHA or state-plan (ADOSH) inspection, and closed out findings without repeat citations.
- You've partnered with engineering teams during equipment commissioning to build safety into the design stage rather than bolting it on afterward.
- You track leading and lagging safety metrics and use them to change what plant leadership prioritizes month to month.
- Bonus: Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), held or actively pursuing. OSHA 30-Hour General Industry card. Experience with collaborative robots and AGV/AMR safety programs. Lean or Six Sigma exposure applied to safety work.
Compensation: $105,000 - $140,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Offers equity in the form of stock options.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
