The opportunity
At Scale, we believe that the next frontier of artificial intelligence is embodied. The Physical AI team is focused on building general AI that can reason and act in the physical world.
What you'll do
Rigorous Safety Audits: 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.
Incident & Near-Miss Documentation: 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.
Root-Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead structured post-incident investigations to identify systematic risks, authoring comprehensive RCA reports and implementing Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
Data-Driven Risk Mitigation: Treat safety data as a core operational asset—tracking safety metrics and audit trends to proactively surface and mitigate physical, electrical, and battery-related hazards.
Cross-functional standardization & accountability: 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.
Daily Lab Operations: Manage the layout, organization, and upkeep of our physical testing arenas and motion-capture volumes using 5S or equivalent workplace organization methodologies.
What they're looking for
- Experience: 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.
- Safety Protocols: Demonstrated experience building out structured audit workflows and detailed incident documentation pipelines (familiarity with OSHA standards or ISO robotics safety standards is highly valued).
- Technical Comfort: Ability to seamlessly navigate an environment featuring complex physical hardware, multi-modal sensors, and advanced compute rigs.
- Communication & Drive: Exceptional written communication skills for documentation, with the assertive communication style required to enforce safety protocols across a brilliant, fast-moving engineering team.
