You will own quality, health, safety and environment end-to-end: certification strategy, risk assessment, test campaigns, technical file and the team. Your work will decide when, and how safely, our robots can work alongside people. You start as a hands-on builder and grow into the leader of UMA’s safety and compliance organization.
