What you need
- Deep experience developing or owning safety cases for complex safety-critical systems, ideally in autonomous vehicles, ADAS, robotics, aerospace, defense, 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.
