What you’ll be working on
The role
Seeking a Senior Systems Safety Engineer that will report to the Director of System Safety and support the design, development, and implementation of reliable, performant, safety-critical systems for an autonomous vehicle operating in an outdoor, industrial environment.
Seeking an experienced systems engineer with a background in functional safety to help build out a first-of-its-kind safety case for autonomous yard operations. You will be responsible for setting, monitoring, and enforcing the high standard of engineering development necessary for the safety-critical functioning of a two-body, multi-ton autonomous ground-vehicle system and safe, error-free, effective operation.
With your strong background in functional safety, you will be responsible for leading multi-disciplinary teams in the development of safety critical subsystems and constructing the associated safety case that documents and defends the integrity of the solution. You will work in close collaboration with the commercial, hardware, software, and test engineering teams to accomplish these goals.
This opportunity offers a talented system safety engineer with a background in functional safety the chance to help develop a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model.
The ideal candidate embraces the idea of reducing the carbon footprint of our 'get-it-now' economy and is invigorated by our overarching mission to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission, self-driving vehicle technology.
