Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Engineering, EHS, or related technical discipline.
• Experience supporting or participating in Engineering Safety Boards, Failure Review Boards, or design reviews.
• Demonstrated experience supporting engineering organizations, laboratories, or product development teams.
• Experience with OSHA 1910, NFPA standards, ANSI, and applicable engineering safety standards.
• Experience performing and reviewing hazard analyses, FMEAs, fault trees, or similar engineering risk assessment methodologies.
• Experience working with high hazard technologies such as high voltage, energy storage systems, automation/robotics, or energetic systems.
• Experience developing Management of Change processes or serving as an MOC reviewer.
• Experience developing incident communications, safety bulletins, and technical safety advisories.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional technical teams without direct authority.
• Experience with emerging technologies such as Li ion battery system safety, robotics safety (ISO 10218/TS 15066), high voltage electrical safety (NFPA 70E), or automation/AI driven test systems.
• Professional health and safety certifications such as the CSP or CIH.
