Safety Coordinator / Lab Lead
Own safety audits, incident documentation, and lab operations for a Physical AI robotics R&D team. Ensure compliance, manage hardware assets, and drive safety culture in a high-velocity hardware testing environment.
Core Responsibilities
Priority Focus: Safety Audits & Incident Documentation
- Design, schedule, and execute routine safety audits across all physical testing environments, robot cells, and hardware workspaces to ensure continuous compliance with internal benchmarks and industrial safety standards.
- Own the end-to-end incident management pipeline. Act as the primary point of contact for documenting, archiving, and analyzing any lab incidents, mechanical anomalies, or near-misses.
- Lead structured post-incident investigations to identify systematic risks, authoring comprehensive RCA reports and implementing Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
- Track safety metrics and audit trends to proactively surface and mitigate physical, electrical, and battery-related hazards.
- Build the tools/processes and associated documentation to drive standardization regarding safe work practices across all multiple facilities. Build mechanisms to hold all employees and partners to a high bar for safety in any Robotics facility.
Lab Leadership & Operational Excellence
- Manage the layout, organization, and upkeep of physical testing arenas and motion-capture volumes using 5S or equivalent workplace organization methodologies.
- Oversee the inventory, calibration, and maintenance of specialized robotics hardware, compute nodes, and safety gear (PPE).
- Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineering teams to smoothly manage workspace allocation for concurrent foundation model testing tracks.
Safety Culture & Onboarding
- Develop, update, and deliver mandatory safety onboarding modules for all incoming engineers, researchers, and partners.
- Cultivate a proactive, "safety-first" culture that matches the velocity of Scale's rapid AI development without compromising on physical guardrails.
Qualifications & Experience
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in lab management, safety coordination, or technical operations within a high-velocity robotics, aerospace, automotive, or autonomous vehicle R&D environment.
- Demonstrated experience building out structured audit workflows and detailed incident documentation pipelines (familiarity with OSHA standards or ISO robotics safety standards is highly valued).
- Ability to seamlessly navigate an environment featuring complex physical hardware, multi-modal sensors, and advanced compute rigs.
- Exceptional written communication skills for documentation, with the assertive communication style required to enforce safety protocols across a brilliant, fast-moving engineering team.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary range: $134,400–$168,000 USD
- Equity-based compensation
- Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage
- Retirement benefits
- Learning and development stipend
- Generous PTO
- Commuter stipend (role may be eligible)
