We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

The Role
As a Staff Safety Assurance Engineer, you will own the end-to-end safety assurance argument for the Neo robot platform. This role ensures that all safety work is integrated into a coherent, complete, and defensible safety case that supports deployment decisions. You’ll play a mission-critical role in shaping world-first safety assurance practices for humanoid robots designed for home environments. You will report to the Director of Robot Safety.

You Will

• Own and maintain the full safety case, including claims, arguments, assumptions, and supporting evidence

• Evaluate the completeness, consistency, and strength of evidence supporting key safety claims

• Assess confidence, uncertainty, coverage limitations, and assumptions across diverse deployment conditions

• Lead deployment readiness assessments and clearly present risk framing to leadership

• Maintain the safety case as system behavior, autonomy, and and operating conditions evolve

• Support post-deployment monitoring of safety-relevant field data

• Provide grounded input to inform risk acceptance decisions

• Act as an independent, constructive reviewer and challenger of safety arguments
