- Ability to reason across hardware, software, networking, controls, and physical-machine behavior
- Experience developing system requirements and interfaces
- Experience applying system or functional safety methods through design, integration, and verification
- Ability to lead cross-disciplinary technical decisions
- Willingness to get hands-on with debugging, data, and machine testing when needed
- Experience in autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, heavy equipment, aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical cyber-physical systems is particularly valuable
- Experience with functional safety standards such as ISO 17757, ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 26262, or related frameworks is particularly valuable
- Hands-on certification or third-party safety assessment work with organizations such as TÜV or UL is particularly valuable
- Experience with teleoperation, distributed robotics, or safety-critical networking and communications is particularly valuable
- Experience with embedded systems, safety controllers, PLCs, CAN/J1939, hardware-in-the-loop testing, or fault injection is particularly valuable
- Experience with robotics perception, localization, planning, control, or autonomy safety is particularly valuable
- Experience in off-road or unstructured operating environments is particularly valuable
Benefits:
