  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Maintenance, Operations, OpEx, and Quality to integrate safety into equipment design and operation.
  • Conduct risk assessments, hazard analyses, and safety validations for automated and manual systems.
  • Champion safety culture by mentoring junior engineers and promoting best practices in equipment safety.
  • Drive incident investigations related to equipment and machinery, identifying root causes and corrective actions.
  • Stay current with evolving safety regulations and technologies to ensure continuous compliance and innovation.
  • What You Bring To The Team

  • Strong knowledge of machinery safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, ANSI B11 series, OSHA 1910, RIA, NFPA).
  • Proven experience with equipment commissioning, validation, and safety buy-off processes.
  • Proven experience with PLCs, robotics, automation systems, and their safety integration.
  • Technically proficient in interpreting drawings and schematics to support effective engineering solutions.
  • Passion for continuous improvement, innovation, and building safe, sustainable manufacturing systems.
  • Highly adaptable and proactive, excelling in fast-paced start-up and new model launch environments.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and project management skills, with experience leading cross-functional teams and managing stakeholders.
