We are seeking a highly versatile Sensor & Hardware Safety Engineer to bridge the gap between rigorous hardware reliability and real-world system behavior. In this hybrid role, you will be responsible for 50% hardware-level Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and 50% system-level sensor safety (SOTIF / ISO 21448). You will ensure that our custom hardware meets strict ASIL compliance while guaranteeing our advanced sensor suites (Cameras, LiDAR, Radar) operate safely through perception edge-cases and environmental challenges.

In This Role, You Will:

  • Evaluate supplier technical documentation for advanced imagers, microprocessors, and SoCs to verify SEooC and AoU alignment.
  • Assess vendor deliverables to guarantee ASIL standards are met for firmware/software maturity and diagnostic systems.
  • Execute board-level FMEDA for sophisticated integrated circuits, including FPGAs and microcontrollers.
  • Partner with Software, FW, and EE departments to define architectural requirements that enhance diagnostic monitoring.
  • Support the V&V team in developing SOTIF-compliant simulation and physical test protocols for edge-case scenarios.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of a B.S. in Automotive, Robotics, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering.
  • At least 3 years of professional experience involving board bring-up, silicon validation, or hardware design.
  • Understanding of SOTIF and ISO 26262 safety protocols.
  • Strong interpersonal and professional communication capabilities within a collaborative environment

Bonus Qualifications

  • ISO 26262 professional certification (CFSP or CFSE).
  • Background in automotive-grade hardware validation and design.
  • Experience utilizing traceability platforms like JAMA or Polarion.
  • Familiarity with industry standards including IEC 61508, DO-254, and DO-178C during board bring-up.
