Job Description
Job Title: Sr. Program Safety and Reliability Engineer III
Location: 91601
Job Type: 6 mo Contract
Hours: 40/week
Pay Rate: Up to $75/hr
This position works in close partnership with Engineering, Test Operations, Facilities, and EHS to identify hazards, reduce operational risk, and enable safe execution of program objectives.

As part of a hardworking team of safety and technical professionals, you will provide subject matter expertise to engineering, production, and test resources related to program safety, occupational safety, process safety, and environmental compliance implementation. You will support all phases of hardware development and campaign execution, including design reviews, hazard assessments, management of change, test readiness reviews, incident investigations, and emergency response planning. This role will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention toward safe and repeatable spaceflight.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required.
Responsibilities
* Serve as the embedded senior program safety engineer supporting the Space Resources Program team through design, build, commissioning, and test execution
* Implement safety programs and practices for the evaluation and control of potential hazards including, but not limited to, industrial hygiene concerns, fall protection, confined space, lock out/tag out, process safety management, hazard assessments, hearing conservation and noise hazards, heat stress, chemical hazards, and environmental management in support of program operations
* Lead early hazard identification efforts and carry hazards through evaluation, control definition, mitigation planning, verification, and closure
* Provide subject matter expertise in design reviews, test reviews, readiness reviews, and operational planning
* Support safety and reliability assessments for both flight and non-flight hardware, with emphasis on developmental systems, exotic materials, and non-routine processes
* Perform a wide range of safety consultation services, including planning, managing, and reporting the results of assessments
* Support incidents and emergencies, including spills, injuries, hazardous operations, equipment upsets, abnormal test conditions, and other emergency situations
* Partner closely with the corporate EHS team to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal safety, health, and environmental regulations
* Prepare technical reports, safety assessments, readiness summaries, investigation findings, and other documentation as required
* Continually update and ensure compliance with company processes and procedure
* Support onboarding and indoctrination of new employees on program safety and EHS expectations
* Assist in waste disposal activities including hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste, universal waste, and recycling materials in coordination with EHS
* Contribute to the injury/illness and near miss reporting process, including investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action development
* Develop, update, and deliver safety and EHS training relevant to program operations
* Serve as a program focal point for safety and environmental issues and concerns
* Evaluate operations for continuous process improvement and implementation of preventive action measures
* Support development, review, and closure of job hazard analyses and risk assessments
* Provide subject matter expertise to engineering and production resources related to safety, process safety, and EHS
* Provide safety and EHS-related input for equipment, facility, and operational design changes
* Perform periodic audits and assessments of safety programs, work areas, and operational readiness
* Support Management of Change (MOC), non-routine process approval, construction safety oversight, emergency response planning, and go/no-go safety readiness review
Required Qualifications:

* Experience supporting hazard assessments, job hazard analyses (JHAs), risk assessments, and implementation of corrective and preventive actions
* Experience supporting incident/accident reporting practices, investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action closure
* Ability to provide safety input to design reviews, test reviews, readiness reviews, and non-routine operations
* Knowledge and ability to use industrial hygiene tools and monitors, or ability to interpret and apply industrial hygiene data in partnership with EHS
* Expertise in writing technical reports, safety assessments, procedures, and investigation summaries
* Good analytical skills and attention to detail, with an ability to interpret and communicate complex technical information
* Ability to work effectively across engineering, operations, test, facilities, and EHS teams
* Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment with evolving program needs and schedule pressure
* Candidate must be able to lift/carry up to fifty pounds, physically climb multiple flights of stairs, withstand prolonged standing, and work in adverse weather or industrial conditions as needed
Preferred Qualifications:
* 15 years total work experience in safety, EHS, process safety, system safety, reliability engineering, or operational risk management
* 7 years work experience in operational aerospace, manufacturing, chemical processing, pilot plant, R&D, or developmental test environments
