Role summary
If you’ve spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We’re scaling, we’re hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time safely creating abundance for all.
Requirements
- Deep technical understanding of product safety, compliance, and certification for complex electromechanical or robotic systems.
- Strong ability to interpret complex standards and turn them into practical engineering requirements and design guidance.
- First-principles problem solver who can investigate safety issues, understand the underlying technical mechanism, and develop effective corrective actions.
- Strong understanding of system and functional safety methodologies, including risk assessment, /FMEDA, STPA, safety functions, and risk-reduction verification.
- Effective cross-functional partner who can work directly with Hardware, Electrical, Battery, Software, AI, Systems, Test & Validation, and Reliability teams.
- Strong project ownership with the ability to manage multiple certification workstreams, external partners, dependencies, and aggressive development schedules.
- Clear technical communicator who can explain regulatory and safety requirements to engineers and leadership.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in product safety, safety compliance, certification, or a closely related engineering role involving robotics, complex electromechanical products, machinery, autonomous systems, or similar products.
- Strong working knowledge of applicable robotics, battery, electrical, and materials safety standards, including standards such as ANSI/CAN/UL 3300, , , ANSI/CAN/UL 2271, UL 1642, IEC 62133-2, UL 94, or related requirements.
- Experience applying system safety and functional safety methods, including risk assessment, /FMEDA, STPA, safety-function definition, and verification of risk-reduction measures.
- Demonstrated ability to translate standards into engineering requirements, design guidance, test procedures, and objective compliance evidence.
- Experience working with test organizations, external laboratories, and certification bodies through certification or compliance testing.
Nice to have
- Experience with safety certification of robots, autonomous machines, industrial machinery, consumer electromechanical products, or products designed to operate around people.
- Experience with cybersecurity or AI-related safety and compliance frameworks for connected or autonomous products.
- Experience developing internal compliance guidelines, design standards, checklists, or engineering tools.
- Participation in UL, ANSI, ISO, IEC, ASTM, or other standards committees or working groups.
- Experience taking a product through third-party certification from requirements definition through final certification.
- Experience working in a startup or rapidly evolving product environment where standards and requirements are still developing.
Team members at the organization who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
