The posting
Role Name: EHS Coordinator
Department: EHS/ Facilities
Location: Hayward and San Carlos, CA (on-site, split between both sites)
Shift: Mon-Fri
Reports to: EHS Lead
ABOUT 1X
We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it's not.
To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you're inspired by this, you'll thrive here. We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We're not demoing it - we're shipping it. We're excited to meet you, if this excites you.
If you've spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Environmental, Health & Safety team keeps our people safe and our sites compliant as 1X moves NEO into production. We cover the Hayward manufacturing site and the San Carlos headquarters, working alongside the engineers and technicians who build and test the robot. As production scales, the programs we run today are what let the company grow safely tomorrow.
YOUR CHARTER
The mission of this role is to be the day-to-day EHS presence on the floor at both Hayward and San Carlos, keeping our programs running, our records current, and our teams safe while the EHS Lead builds what comes next. You split your time between the two sites, work directly with the EHS Lead, and own the execution that keeps both locations compliant with Cal/OSHA, DTSC, and local CUPA requirements. This is a hands-on role for someone early in their EHS career who wants real exposure to robotics and hardware, and room to grow.
KEY OUTCOMES
- Own day-to-day EHS execution across both sites - inspections, recordkeeping, and corrective-action follow-through - so open findings are closed on time and nothing slips between locations.
- Keep written programs (Injury and Illness Prevention Program, Hazard Communication, Emergency Action Plan, lockout/tagout, PPE) current and both sites audit-ready under Cal/OSHA, DTSC, and local CUPA requirements.
- Run hazardous waste operations at both sites - labeling, container checks, manifests, and vendor pickups, including lithium-ion battery and e-waste streams - with no compliance gaps.
- Deliver safety training on schedule with complete records for both sites, and keep emergency readiness real through routine equipment checks (extinguishers, eyewash stations, spill kits), drills, and emergency response team preparedness.
- Drive incident reporting, investigations, and injury case follow-up to closure, and be the visible, approachable safety resource employees go to on the floor.
KEY COMPETENCIES
- Organized and reliable, with the follow-through to manage competing priorities across two sites without dropping anything.
- Comfortable on the production floor, talking with engineers and technicians and building the working relationships that make safety stick.
- Hands-on operator who would rather fix the eyewash station than file a report about it.
- Curious and eager to learn, with the drive to grow into a broader EHS role as the company scales.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- About 2 years of EHS experience, or a degree in Occupational Safety, Environmental Science, or a related field.
- Basic knowledge of Cal/OSHA and California hazardous waste requirements, or a clear eagerness to learn them.
- Able to work on-site at both Hayward and San Carlos, traveling between sites as needed.
PREFERRED SKILLS
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30, or hazardous waste (RCRA/DOT) training.
- Experience in manufacturing, laboratory, or hardware environments.
- Exposure to lithium-ion batteries, robotics, or electromechanical hardware.
