## About the role

We're looking for a Senior Safety Engineer who can own functional safety end-to-end for our humanoid platform: hazard analysis, architectural decisions, component selection, certification, and the messy real-world testing in between.

## What they're looking for

- 5–10 years of safety engineering experience on industrial robots, collaborative robots, AGVs/AMRs, or comparable machinery
- Deep working knowledge of ISO 13849, IEC 62061, IEC 61508, and ISO 10218 (or ANSI/RIA R15.06), familiarity with ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative applications
- Software safety experience (IEC 61508-3) in addition to systems-level work
- Hands-on experience taking a product through safety certification — not just supporting it, but owning the technical narrative and defending it to assessors
- Comfort with the full toolkit: FMEA, FTA, HAZOP, STPA, and the judgment to know which to reach for
- A creative mindset. Standards rarely dictate components, they dictate outcomes. We want someone who can architect a novel solution, justify it against the standard's intent, and convince a notified body it meets the bar
