## About the role

Periodic Labs is building an AI that can simulate science and verify its own predictions — training on the full scientific method. Central to that mission is a high-throughput experimental materials science lab that handles hazardous chemistries, high-pressure and high-temperature processes, air-sensitive synthesis, toxic gas exposure risks, and an expanding suite of thin-film deposition tools including PVD, PLD and the complexity of what we run overnight and autonomously is increasing every month.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience in EHS, process safety, or chemical operations in labs, pilot plants, or manufacturing environments preferably in solid-state chemistry, materials science processing, or lab automation
- Strong knowledge of EH&S regulations, standards, and best practices
- Hands-on experience conducting HAZOPs or FMEAs and designing or reviewing functional safety systems
- Certification in EH&S (e.g., Certified Safety Professional, Certified Industrial Hygienist) is a plus
- Comfort working on-site in a fast-paced, high-complexity lab environment where experiments run 24/7 and the hazard profile evolves as new processes and equipment are introduced
