Meet the Team 
 
This role supports the creation of safe behavior requirements and leads risk evaluations, identifies functional insufficiencies and triggering conditions (FI-TC; e.g., severe weather, glare, or rare edge cases), and defines acceptance criteria (such as S>0, C>0 analyses). Furthermore, the role supports the execution framework that enables the safe and scalable deployment of autonomous functions across various platforms and operational domains. 
As autonomy systems increase complexity, this position supports safety requirements, as well as systems engineering, V&V, and operational activities. The candidate will work cross-functionally with systems engineering, behavioral safety, and autonomy. The role ensures requirements traceability, verification and validation readiness, risk management, and alignment of safety objectives with program milestones.
 
What You’ll Do:
  • Create requirements using safety frameworks and following safety standards (i.e. ISO 21448, ISO 26262, ISO/PAS 8800, etc.).
  • Lead risk evaluations to identify functional insufficiencies and triggering conditions FI-TC (e.g., severe weather, glare, or rare edge cases).
  • Define acceptance criteria in the requirements (such as S>0, C>0 analyses).
  • Support the planning and execution of safety-critical initiatives across the autonomous vehicle lifecycle.
  • Contribute to the alignment between product roadmaps, safety goals, and deployment milestones.
  • Ensure traceability between hazards, safety requirements, system requirements, verification activities and validation evidence.
  • Work in cross-functional safety activities including hazard analysis, safety assessments, and safety case development.
  • Support integrated verification and validation activities across simulation, test environments, closed-course testing, and field operations for evidence-based deployment decisions.
  • Support other subject matter experts (SMEs) to handle safety risks, technical dependencies, and change impacts across systems, software, hardware, perception, localization, controls, and operational teams.

What You Need To Succeed

  • Experience in autonomous systems, ADAS, robotics, aerospace, industrial automation, or other safety-critical platforms.
  • Demonstrated experience applying ISO 21448 (SOTIF) across the safety lifecycle, including hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA), safety goals, functional and technical safety concepts, and ASIL decomposition.
  • Working knowledge of ISO 26262 and other related standards such as IEC 61508, UL 4600, or ISO/PAS 8800 is a plus.
  • Familiarity with safety lifecycle artifacts including Item Definitions, HARA, HIRE, FMEA/FMEDA, Safety Requirements, Safety Plans, Safety Cases, and Verification & Validation strategies.
  • Demonstrated ability to align engineering execution with safety assurance objectives while maintaining program delivery commitments.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related technical field, plus demonstrated competencies and technical proficiencies typically acquired through 3+ years of experience OR; Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related technical field plus demonstrated competencies and technical proficiencies typically acquired through 0+ years of experience.
