Working under the close guidance and supervision of the Head of Safety, the Senior Safety Engineer will execute core safety lifecycle tasks across AeroVect’s software and hardware platforms:
-
System Safety Analysis: Perform hazard identification and risk assessments (HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA) on the autonomous system architecture and vehicle operation concepts.
-
Requirements Derivation: Derive, specify, and trace functional and technical safety requirements (FSRs / TSRs) for both supervised autonomy (safety driver present) and SDO unsupervised autonomy (driverless).
-
Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate directly with systems, software, robotics, hardware, and test teams to ensure safety requirements are integrated, testable, and verified.
-
Safety Case Support: Assist in building safety case artifacts and verification evidence required for airport commercial deployment.
You Will
-
Perform Quantitative Hardware Safety Analyses, including FMEDA, hardware diagnostic coverage analysis, and Probabilistic Metric for random Hardware Failures (PMHF).
-
Calculate hardware component and system failure rates using standard methodologies (SN 29500, IEC 61709, MIL-HDBK-217F, Telcordia SR-332).
-
Evaluate drive-by-wire compute hardware, sensor suites (Lidar, Radar, Camera), actuator interfaces, and power distribution systems for single-point and latent faults.
-
Derive Hardware Safety Requirements (HSRs) for redundant architectures and fail-operational compute nodes.
You Have
-
5+ years of hands-on safety engineering experience in autonomous vehicles, automotive (ISO 26262), aerospace (DO-178C/DO-254), or industrial safety (IEC 61508).
-
5+ years in hardware safety engineering, EE reliability, or failure rate modeling for automotive, aerospace, or industrial robotics.
-
Prior background working with autonomous driving systems or mobile robotics.
-
Proven ability to work under the technical mentorship of a Principal Safety Engineer in a high-velocity agile engineering team.
-
B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline.
-
Proven mastery of FIT rate modeling, component failure rate calculation methods (SN 29500, IEC 61709, MIL-HDBK-217), and FMEDA workflows.
-
ISO 26262-5 Mastery: Deep knowledge of hardware architectural metrics (SPFM, LFM) and hardware diagnostic strategies.
