Staff Systems Safety Engineer

Be the technical authority for the safety of our humanoid robots, from concept through customer deployment. You will author the system safety architecture and safety case and provide technical leadership to the engineers who own hazard analysis, safety functions, and customer deployment safety, so that the safety case holds up with customers and assessors. You will draw on deep functional safety and robot safety expertise, technical leadership, and sound risk-based judgment.

• Provide technical leadership to the systems safety engineers, from hazard analysis and safety requirements through site risk assessment and commissioning, be accountable for the technical quality of their work, and support first customer deployments on site
• Set technical direction across the safety team, review its work, and mentor engineers through coaching, technical guidance, and input on hiring, and keep the team’s day-to-day technical priorities aligned to long-term goals
• Author the system-level safety architecture (including AI) and functional safety concept, driving architecture-level safety decisions across current and next-generation platforms, balancing performance, technical risk, and compliance
• Serve as technical authority for safety trade-offs, residual risk recommendations, component and architectural decisions, and conflicts between safety and product goals
• Author and maintain the safety case, ensuring evidence from software, hardware, AI, user safety, and deployment is complete, consistent, and traceable, including the SOTIF argument for hazards that arise without a fault
• Perform system-level safety analyses that span the domain roles, such as system fault trees and common-cause failure analysis, lead in-depth design reviews of safety-critical subsystems, and take hands-on ownership of deliverables where the team has gaps
• Define the safety lifecycle, including the AI safety lifecycle under ISO/IEC TS 22440 and the SOTIF process under ISO 21448, and safety engineering methods, and the technical criteria for design reviews, safety gates, and SOTIF residual risk acceptance
