Safety Engineer at Sunrise · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

At Sunrise Robotics, this role owns the safety of our robotic cells as a product, from the first design decision to the cell running on a customer's floor. That covers functional safety, safety in our robotics software, and the sign-off of every deployment.
Our robotic cells combine two industrial robot arms, cameras, a safety PLC, radar presence sensing and software that changes what the cell does from one product variant to the next. Every new application changes the hazards. Your job is to know exactly what changed, and to stop us repeating safety work for everything that didn't.
You are part of the design, not a check at the end. You work with our robotics and software engineers on motion planning, perception and how the cell behaves around people, and decide early which risks need a safety function and which the software can handle.
We are creating a new way of doing high-mix manufacturing, and safety standards were written for machines that do one fixed job. That leaves a grey zone where the standards give no clean answer. We need someone creative who can operate in that grey zone and bring clarity: work out a safe answer, defend it, and write it down so others can follow it. That means being creative about how we reach a safe design, never about whether a design is safe.
The safety concept for our cell platform: which hazards and safety functions are assessed once, so each new application assesses only what it changes.
Safety in design: input to our robotics software from the first design review, safety requirements in every product and application requirements document, and sign-off on each solution design.
Functional safety: you specify each safety function in the safety PLC and robot safety controller, including how reliable it must be, and prove it works. Our robotics integration engineer writes the PLC code.
Risk assessments, the CE technical file and the Declaration of Conformity for each cell, including our move to the new EU Machinery Regulation.
Site safety for each deployment, from layout and guarding to operator access, and safety checks at every acceptance test.
Our rules for testing cells safely in R&D, including Reduced Safety Mode.
Root cause investigation of safety faults and incidents.
Safety content for the cell manual, and customers' safety questions in presales.
