Senior Systems & Safety Engineer

About the role

You'll own the system architecture and functional safety of our Remote Driving platform, shaping how our vehicles behave in real-world, safety-critical scenarios. Working at the intersection of hardware, software, and vehicle integration, you'll play a key role in bringing a completely new category of mobility to life.

What you'll do

• Define and evolve system architecture and requirements across ECUs, motion control, connectivity, and cloud interfaces
• Design and validate safety mechanisms including redundancy, fail-safe/fail-operational behavior, and minimum risk manoeuvres
• Plan and execute vehicle-level testing to validate system performance and safety responses in real-world conditions
• Develop monitoring frameworks and dashboards to track system health, detect faults, and minimize downtime
• Own the functional safety concept, deriving safety goals and building Functional and Technical Safety Concepts (ISO 26262)
• Build and maintain the safety case, ensuring readiness for audits and compliance across the full development lifecycle
• Lead safety analysis activities (HARA, FMEA, FTA) and ensure full traceability from hazard identification to verification

What you'll need

• Strong experience in system requirements engineering for complex, multi-disciplinary systems
• Hands-on experience with functional safety standards (ISO 26262 or equivalent e.g., IEC 61508, DO-178)
• Proven ability to conduct HARA, derive ASIL levels, and author FSR/TSR
• Proven ability to translate high-level needs into structured, testable requirements
• Solid understanding of system architecture, interfaces, and dependencies across hardware and software domains
• Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Polarion, Jama, Flow Engineering)
• Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills

Nice to have

• Experience with SOTIF (ISO 21448) and automotive cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434)
• Familiarity with ASPICE processes and assessments
• Experience with MBSE approaches and tools (e.g. SysML, Cameo)
• Background in teleoperations, remote driving, or autonomous vehicle systems
