** Your Role
** Engineering Design Safety
* Review mechanical, electrical, controls, and software designs to ensure compliance with safety requirements and lead design safety reviews.
* Conduct and maintain hazard and risk analyses, including HARA, STPA, FMEA, and FTA, for machine systems and control architectures.
* Derive safety requirements from risk assessments and collaborate with engineering teams to ensure requirements are traceable, verifiable, and effectively implemented.
* Determine the required safety integrity or performance level for safety functions and verify that designs achieve the appropriate level of risk reduction.
* Develop verification and validation plans for safety functions, define acceptance criteria, and review test evidence and results.
* Maintain safety documentation, including analyses, requirements, safety cases, verification records, and audit evidence.
* Support engineering teams in integrating safety ownership throughout the design and development lifecycle.
* Capture recurring field and site hazards and translate them into future design requirements and safety improvements.

Customer Site Safety
* Travel to customer locations during project initiation to assess operational environments, including traffic flow, machine-to-person interaction, terrain, visibility, adjacent equipment, infrastructure, and existing site procedures.
* Perform comprehensive site safety evaluations and produce written assessments identifying the conditions and requirements necessary for safe autonomous operation, including any factors that may prevent deployment.
* Develop site safety plans covering operating boundaries, exclusion zones, machine interaction requirements, emergency stop coverage, perimeter protection, access control, signage, communications, and maintenance isolation procedures.
* Define, specify, and verify required protective measures, including guarding, interlocks, emergency stop systems, presence sensing technologies, warning devices, and access controls.
* Establish safe operating envelopes for machines and deployment sites, and provide recommendations regarding readiness for autonomous operation.
* Document customer safety responsibilities and deliver training to operators, maintenance personnel, supervisors, and safety teams.
* Serve as the primary safety liaison for customer operations and safety leadership, while advising commercial and project teams on safety-related constraints early in the project lifecycle.
* Support onsite verification activities and functional testing to confirm safety measures have been implemented effectively.##
