  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to develop requirements, architectures, and test plans
  • Guide engineering teams through appropriate safety analysis at various phases of the program
  • Compile requirements, analysis, and test evidence sufficient to develop a safety case for an autonomous system
  • Lead cross-functional technical efforts involving interdisciplinary efforts to develop robotic systems
  • Work closely with a small team to design and prototype new payloads, platforms, and product features which create safety features for our robots

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of experience leading cross-functional systems engineering efforts in applications of robotics, autonomous vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, industrial automation, or related industries
  • Deep knowledge of one or more relevant safety standards, including IEC 61508, ANSI/RIA R15.08, ISO 26262, ISO/PAS 21448, UL/ANSI 4600
  • Experience developing a full safety case and compiling data to support safety claims, especially for autonomous systems
  • Experience leading engineering teams through structured safety analysis efforts, such as HARA, FMEA and Fault Tree Analysis
  • Experience developing safety goals and validation targets
  • Experience communicating effectively about safety engineering with engineering teams and executives
  • Strong communication skills, including ability to author technical documentation and deliver presentations on technical topics
  • History of leading cross-functional technical efforts through planning, technical requirement development, and interdisciplinary collaboration
  • History of working in small, interdisciplinary teams
  • Eligible to work in the United States
