Health & Safety Technician

Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence. Its robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is headquartered in San Jose, CA. We are seeking a hands-on Health & Safety Technician to join our team on a contract basis, with the potential to convert to a full-time role. This is a field-forward position ideal for someone who thrives on day-to-day operational safety work rather than primarily desk-based tasks. You will be the boots-on-the-ground resource ensuring our facilities are safe, compliant, and properly organized from a safety standpoint. Core Responsibilities Facility Labeling & Signage • Install, maintain, and audit required safety signage throughout the facility (hazard warnings, emergency exits, restricted areas, PPE requirements). • Ensure all chemical containers, storage areas, and equipment are properly labeled per OSHA and GHS/HazCom standards. • Conduct regular walkthroughs to identify missing, damaged, or non-compliant labels and signage and take corrective action promptly. Hazardous Waste Management • Manage the day-to-day handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste in compliance with EPA, state, and local regulations. • Maintain satellite and central accumulation areas, ensuring proper labeling, containment, and recordkeeping. • Coordinate with licensed waste disposal vendors and prepare manifests and shipping documentation. • Track hazardous waste generation volumes and maintain compliance logs. Incident Management • Serve as the first responder and point of contact for workplace safety incidents and near-misses. • Conduct thorough incident investigations to determine root causes and develop corrective action plans. • Document and report incidents in accordance with OSHA recordkeeping requirements (300/300A logs). • Follow up on corrective actions to ensure timely resolution and prevention of recurrence. Safety Inspections & Audits • Perform routine facility safety inspections, identifying hazards and non-conformances and tracking them to resolution. • Conduct fire extinguisher, eyewash station, first aid kit, and emergency equipment checks and ensure all are in proper working order. • Support and prepare for external regulatory inspections and audits (OSHA, EPA, local fire department). • Maintain accurate inspection records and checklists. General EHS Support • Assist in the development and delivery of safety training for employees (new hire orientation, equipment-specific, emergency response). • Support the implementation and upkeep of safety programs and written plans (IIPP, HazCom, Emergency Action Plan, etc.). • Help maintain the EHS documentation system, ensuring records are current and organized. • Collaborate with facilities, operations, and engineering teams on safety-related projects and improvements. Requirements Education & Certifications • High school diploma or GED required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a related field is a plus. Equivalent combination of certifications and hands-on experience strongly considered. • OSHA 30-Hour General Industry certification and/or OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification strongly preferred. Experience • 3–5 years of hands-on experience in a health, safety, or environmental role, ideally in a manufacturing, R&D, robotics, or technology hardware environment. • Demonstrated experience with hazardous waste management, safety labeling/signage programs, and conducting safety inspections. • Experience with incident investigation and OSHA recordkeeping. Knowledge & Skills • Working knowledge of OSHA General Industry standards (29 CFR 1910), EPA hazardous waste regulations (RCRA), and applicable state/local regulations. • Familiarity with GHS/HazCom labeling requirements. • Strong attention to detail and ability to identify and document hazards accurately. • Effective written and verbal communication skills; able to interact clearly with employees at all levels. • Self-motivated and able to manage tasks independently with minimal supervision. • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Personal Attributes • Proactive and action-oriented — you don’t wait to be asked to fix a hazard. • Comfortable with physical, hands-on work (walking the floor, installing signs, managing waste areas). • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for safety outcomes. • Team player who can also work independently and prioritize effectively. • Discreet and professional when handling sensitive safety or incident information. The US base hourly rate for this position is between $45-$55 per hour. The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
