## About the role

We're looking for an EH&S Lead to bring in-house ownership to our environmental, health, and safety program. This role covers both traditional workplace safety and compliance (OSHA and general industry standards) and the specialized programs that come with building robots — lithium-ion battery handling, fabrication and machine shop safety, and related hazardous work.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of experience in an EH&S role, ideally within a hardware, robotics, manufacturing, or lab environment
- Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations and general industry safety standards
- Experience with hazardous materials programs, familiarity with lithium-ion battery safety or similar energy storage/chemical handling strongly preferred
- Comfortable working independently and prioritizing across compliance work and program development, with the ability to scale engagement hours as needs grow
- Strong communicator, able to work effectively with both technical/engineering stakeholders and operational teams
