We know we have an incredibly ambitious mission, and that it requires a wide combination of skills, attitude, and grit to make it happen. If you have a passion for abundant energy, and how we can improve life with it, we want to have a chat with you.

You enjoy hands-on, creative collaboration with a small, tight-knit team you can work with, laugh with, and learn with on a wide variety of topics.

You thrive in an atmosphere of development, and you are an ardent learner who's always looking for ways to grow and improve.

  • Monitor and analyze safety performance metrics, evaluate systems for process improvements, and develop strategies for continuous improvement.
  • Perform safety audits of facilities, equipment, and processes to ensure compliance with safety standards and federal, state, and local regulations.
  • Conduct risk assessments and hazard analyses to identify potential safety hazards and implement appropriate control measures.
  • Investigate EHS incidents and accidents and recommend corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.
  • Develop and implement emergency response plans and coordinate safety drills.
  • Stay current with industry best practices and emerging safety technologies.
  • Perform other safety related duties and special projects as assigned.

About you:

  • 7+ years of experience working in a safety management capacity.
  • 5+ years of experience working in a manufacturing or R&D environment.
  • Expertise with safety policy implementation and management.
  • In-depth knowledge of HSE principles, risk assessments, and relevant regulations.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects/tasks and work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to work in a team environment and collaborate with individuals at all levels of the organization.

Key areas of expertise should include:

  • Experience in health physics principles or radiation safety programs for particle accelerator facilities.
  • Possess the ability, training and experience to become an RSO in Washington State.
  • Experience in the fusion industry, energy sector, or similarly regulated industries.

Bonus skills or experience:

  • Experience in health physics principles or radiation safety programs for particle accelerator facilities.
  • Possess the ability, training and experience to become an RSO in

Benefits:

  • Excellent medical, dental and vision benefits: We pay 100% of your premiums
  • 10 paid holidays and company-wide December holiday break
  • Generous paid vacation and sick time
  • Small, tight-knit team with low barriers to action
  • Exposure to a wide variety of problems for unparalleled, hands-on professional growth
  • Weekly employer provided team meals, a well-stocked kitchen, and employee events on and off-site
  • Meaningful equity in the form of stock options
