  • Risk Assessment: Evaluate identified hazards and assess associated risks, considering various factors such as probability, severity, and exposure. Develop risk assessment reports and provide recommendations for risk mitigation.
  • Safety Requirements Development: Define and document safety requirements based on regulatory standards, industry best practices, and project-specific needs. Ensure safety requirements are clear, measurable, and traceable throughout the system development lifecycle.
  • Compliance and Certification: Collaborate with regulatory authorities and certification bodies to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations applicable to the industry.
  • Safety Implementation: Work closely with engineering teams to implement safety features and design changes. Provide guidance on safety-related design decisions and assess the effectiveness of implemented safety measures.
  • Safety Verification and Validation: Develop and execute safety verification and validation plans to confirm that safety requirements are met. Conduct tests, simulations, and analyses to validate safety controls and measures.

Qualifications/Required:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience as a System Safety Engineer in a relevant industry.
  • In-depth knowledge of safety analysis methods and tools, including FMEA, FTA, HAZOP, etc.

  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to effectively convey safety-related information to diverse audiences.
  • Experience with safety assessment software tools is a plus.

Qualifications/Preferred:

  • Background developing functional and SOTIF safety requirements and roadmap for an autonomous vehicle.
  • Experience leading a system safety team in the development and fielding of a robotic system with safety-critical components.
