What you need

  • Deep experience developing or owning safety cases for complex safety-critical systems, ideally in autonomous vehicles, ADAS, robotics, aerospace, defence, or another software-intensive domain.
  • Strong systems engineering background spanning requirements, architecture, verification, validation, and safety assurance.
  • Proven ability to translate complex technical evidence into structured safety claims and arguments.
  • Strong understanding of autonomous driving and AI/ML safety, including model performance, data, uncertainty, and limitations of conventional verification approaches.
  • Experience partnering with AI/ML, engineering, systems, and product teams on safety-critical products.
  • Strong knowledge of relevant standards, including ISO 26262, ISO 21448, ISO/PAS 8800, and ISO 3450x.

Nice to have

  • Safety case experience with L2+/L3 ADAS or L4 ADS products.
  • Experience with GSN or equivalent structured assurance methods.
  • Safety evidence experience for end-to-end or foundation-model-based autonomous driving.
  • Experience working with OEMs, regulators, assessors, or independent safety reviewers.
  • Familiarity with operational and post-deployment safety monitoring.

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed.
  • Role operates independently from Engineering and Product, which may impact collaboration dynamics.
  • The position requires a high level of technical rigor and the ability to challenge established practices, which may be demanding.
  • The focus on AI-enabled autonomous driving may require continuous learning and adaptation to new challenges.
