Staff Safety Engineer
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", etc. So we need to extract content.
Let's parse the posting:
Company Description: paragraph about Third Wave Automation.
Job Description: includes Mission, How You Can Make An Impact (list of bullet-like paragraphs), What You'll Do (Your First 90 Days And Beyond) (list of bullet-like paragraphs). Then Qualifications (list). Then Preferred & Desired Qualifications (list). Then pay range line. Then More About Working Here: Core Values (list), A Robust Set Of Benefits And Perks (list). Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe company description + mission?), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (maybe Preferred & Desired Qualifications?), Benefits (benefits list), Pay (pay range), Schedule (maybe flexible working schedule). Also maybe "Industry Influence & Advocacy" etc part of responsibilities.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to see if each section has substantive content.
- About the role: Could combine company description and mission? The mission is part of job description. Could put under "About the role". Provide prose.
- Responsibilities: The "How You Can Make An Impact" and "What You'll Do" sections. Those are lists of duties. Use
- .
- Requirements: The "Qualifications" section (10+ Years..., Regulatory Mastery, etc). Use list.
- Skills: The "Preferred & Desired Qualifications" maybe considered skills. Use list.
- Benefits: The "A Robust Set Of Benefits And Perks" list.
- Pay: The pay range line.
- Schedule: The "Flexible working schedule." mention.
We need to avoid duplication: "Outstanding interpersonal communication skills..." appears twice in Preferred & Desired Qualifications; we should keep only once? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate that line.
Also need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, visa sponsorship, etc. Also remove "More About Working Here" heading? We'll incorporate core values and benefits.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
Structure:
About the role
Company description paragraph + mission paragraph? Might be two paragraphs. We'll combine into one
maybe with two sentences? Better to keep as separate
for prose. The rule: use
for prose. So we can have multiple
under the section.
Thus:
About the role
Third Wave Automation is a rapidly growing startup that has demonstrated its core technology components, proven its market fit, and just closed its Series C funding. If you are excited about cutting edge machine learning, robotics that affects the real world, and want to join a company where your skills can have a huge impact, you’ll fit right in. Third Wave Automation is applying modern machine learning to materials handling—delivering site-specific forklift navigation and infrastructure-free pallet handling that continuously adapts to changing floor configuration and warehouse demand.
The Mission: Architecting Safety for Physical AI At Third Wave Automation, we don’t just deploy technology; we transform how the world’s largest OEMs and logistics providers operate. Moving 3,000lb autonomous reach trucks with centimeter precision means that safety isn't just a regulatory hurdle—it is the bedrock of our product, our customer trust, and our entire business model. We are looking for a Staff Safety Engineer to act as our primary technical authority on system safety and compliance. We do not want a "box-checker" or someone whose favorite phrase is "because the standard says so." We are looking for an innovator—a deeply technical engineer who understands why a standard exists and can propose novel, compliant architectures that accommodate the bleeding edge of Physical AI. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will have full autonomy. You will inherit a strong foundation, but you will have the absolute authority to refine, correct, or completely rebuild our frameworks if there is a better way.
That seems fine.
Next Responsibilities:
We have "How You Can Make An Impact" with bullet-like paragraphs each starting with bold heading. We'll turn each into - . Also "What You'll Do (Your First 90 Days And Beyond)" list.
We'll combine into one
maybe with all items.
Let's extract items:
How You Can Make An Impact:
- Architect the Safety System: Partner directly with Product and Engineering leaders to weave safety into the DNA of our robotics platform. Your job isn't to slow them down; it’s to show them how to move fast, safely—pushing our systems to go above and beyond the baseline requirements.
- Industry Influence & Advocacy: Represent TWA on national and international standards committees. We are building tech that outpaces current regulations; you will advocate for and influence standards bodies to accommodate and safely regulate the next generation of embodied AI.
- AI-Augmented Execution: While AI will never dictate our safety architecture, we expect our leaders to be at the forefront of modern productivity. You will leverage generative AI and advanced tooling to parse dense regulatory updates, draft technical documentation, and streamline hazard analysis—acting as a massive force multiplier for your own output.
- Lead the Certification Vanguard: Own and drive the end-to-end certification processes for complex autonomous systems across hardware, software, and cybersecurity.
- The Voice of Trust: Act as the definitive safety authority for our Tier-1 OEM partners and customers. You will translate our rigorous safety architecture into customer confidence and business value.
- EHS Leadership: Safety starts at home. You will oversee our internal Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) programs, ensuring our field engineers, deployment teams, and lab staff have the right training, protocols, and protection to do their best work.
What You'll Do (Your First 90 Days And Beyond):
- Assess the Foundation: Conduct a deep-dive audit of our existing safety architecture, EHS programs, and compliance documentation. Identify immediate areas for improvement or complete reinvention.
- Build Cross-Functional Alliances: Establish strong partnerships with Product, Engineering, and Field Operations leaders to embed safety requirements smoothly into our development and deployment cycles.
- Drive Key Certifications: Take immediate ownership of ongoing certification processes (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 21434) and map out the strategy for future regulatory compliance.
- Engage with Standards Bodies: Begin representing Third Wave Automation in relevant industry committees, advocating for standards that align with the realities of modern embodied AI.
- Elevate EHS Protocols: Review and upgrade our internal Environmental, Health, and Safety training to ensure every TWA employee operates with the highest level of protection.
We'll combine.
Thus:
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Next Requirements (Qualifications):
List:
- 10+ Years of Deep Expertise: A decade or more of hands-on experience in safety engineering within robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, or heavy industrial automation.
- Regulatory Mastery: Deep, working knowledge of OSHA regulations and core autonomy standards, specifically IEC 61508, ISO 13849 (Parts 1 & 2), and ISO/SAE 21434 (Cybersecurity).
- The "First-Principles" Mindset: The technical depth to challenge engineering assumptions and propose innovative safety solutions rather than relying on outdated boilerplate compliance.
- AI Fluency: Comfortable leveraging LLMs and modern software tools to 10x your efficiency in research, technical writing, and workflow automation without compromising engineering rigor.
- Diplomacy & Gravitas: Proven experience participating in industry standards committees and the professional polish to influence C-suite executives, OEMs, and regulatory bodies.
- A "Builder's" Autonomy: The ability to operate in a high-growth startup environment where you are trusted to define the roadmap, not just execute someone else’s plan.
Thus:
Requirements
...
Next Skills (Preferred & Desired Qualifications):
List:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- Deep experience navigating functional safety audits and successfully achieving safety certifications for complex hardware/software systems.
- Outstanding interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex safety standards into clear, actionable engineering requirements.
Note duplicate line appears twice; we keep one.
Thus:

Next Benefits:
From "A Robust Set Of Benefits And Perks":
- Comprehensive benefits. Health, Dental, Vision, and a 401k matching program, to boot!
- Flexible working schedule. Be productive when you work best.
- Show & Tell. We love to learn from one another, and see the cool stuff everyone is working on!
- Meals are covered. Lunch is provided every day, and dinner for those evenings that run long.
- Stacks of snacks. Donuts are a main food group, and the snack shelf is always stocked with a wide variety of items.
- Great teammates. One of the best parts of working here!
We could also include Core Values maybe as part of Benefits? But core values are separate list: Safety, People, Encouragement, Transparency. Could be part of Benefits or maybe a separate section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. Core Values is specific content. Could be a section "Culture" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit core values into one of those. Perhaps Benefits section can include core values as part of benefits/perks. Or we could add a separate section but not allowed. So we incorporate core values into Benefits as items.
Thus Benefits list includes those items.
Next Pay:
Line: "The pay range for this position is $166,000 - $249,000/yr+ benefits+equity; however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Base pay information is based on market location."
We need to output as under
Pay
. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. This is specific.
Thus:

Next Schedule:
We have "Flexible working schedule. Be productive when you work best." Already included in Benefits list as item. But we could also have a Schedule section. Since we already used flexible schedule in Benefits, we could still have a Schedule section with that content. However we must not duplicate content? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines. If we put flexible schedule both in Benefits and Schedule, that's duplication. Better to put it only once. Since Benefits already includes it, we could omit Schedule section. But we need to see if there is any other schedule info: none. So we
