Job Description
Senior Software Safety Engineer advancing safety for AeroVect’s autonomous ground-handling platforms. Performing ISO 26262 analyses, deriving requirements, and supporting airport deployment.
Responsibilities:
- Perform hazard identification and risk assessments (HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA) on the autonomous software architecture and vehicle operation concepts
- Derive, specify, and trace functional and technical safety requirements (FSRs / TSRs) for supervised and unsupervised autonomy
- Collaborate with systems, software, robotics, hardware, and test teams to integrate, test, and verify safety requirements
- Assist in building safety case artifacts and verification evidence required for airport commercial deployment
- Conduct software hazard and safety analyses on perception, motion planning, localization, and vehicle control modules per ISO 26262-6 and SOTIF (ISO 21448)
- Execute software FMEA/FTA, freedom-from-interference analysis, and code-level hazard evaluations
- Derive Software Safety Requirements and define monitoring/fail-safe mechanisms within multi-core and Linux/RTOS software environments
- Review safety-critical C++/Python code and robotics middleware with development teams
- Develop Safety Performance Indicators to measure safety performance over time
