Equipment Safety Validation Technician

This role supports the validation and eventual integration of new manufacturing equipment that is being brought in from outside vendors (including Samsung SDI) to the manufacturing facility in Kokomo. Much of this equipment was originally designed to non‑US safety standards, so the core responsibility is to verify and validate that the equipment meets US safety, OSHA, and internal standards before it’s approved for use.

You will complete manufacturing equipment safety approval processes, both initial buy-off to permit energization of equipment to begin validation and qualification processes, as well as final buy-off to release manufacturing equipment to production operations.

This is focused on physical/manual equipment validation and functional checking/testing as opposed to software testing. You will be working on the production floor validating, and testing the equipment (manufacturing equipment, large battery modules and cells, large dryers, and more).

This includes measuring distances of guarding, control reliability, light screens, LOTO, labeling, ergonomics, checking light curtains for functionality, checking the functionality of safety devices within the equipment. You will not need to do the troubleshooting if you find an issue – this will revert back to the OEM.

This role is a part of the Environmental, Health and Safety team, and is a very safety focused role. Work with cross-functional teams from engineering, safety, production, maintenance, OEMs, installation contractors, etc.
