Job description

Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Generalist

Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamondbehind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

Reporting to the Director of Global EHS, the EHS Generalist is our on-site safety presence at our Fremont, CA location: out on the production floor, in the labs, and alongside the people doing the work.

Diamond Foundry is moving from startup to full-scale production, and you’ll help shape the safety culture that goes with that growth. You’ll use approaches like Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) and behavior-based safety to change how people think about and talk about safety, not just how they comply with it.

You’ll spot hazards before they become incidents, fix what you can on the spot, and bring in engineers and leadership when a problem needs a bigger solution. You’ll also own our highest-risk safety programs, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Confined Space Entry, and Respiratory Protection, and write the technical procedures behind them to maintain Cal/OSHA compliance. Your hands-on work frees the Director to focus on global EHS vision and strategy.

Perks include employee discounts to VRAI. Our benefits begin as early as your first day of employment. Medical and vision coverage are retroactive to your start date, while dental and voluntary benefits take effect once you’ve completed your enrollment.
