About the role

  • Define and govern the Functional Safety lifecycle. Act as the final gatekeeper for Project Safety Plans and lead critical milestone reviews to ensure technical integrity before mass-production releases.
  • Partner directly with engineering teams to co-develop Safety Plans and Technical Safety Concepts, ensuring they are technically robust and compliant from the start.
  • Conduct deep-dive assessments of the autonomy software stack to identify and remediate safety risks throughout the development journey.
  • Support in the development of governance guidelines for AI/ML systems. Bridge the gap between non-deterministic models and rigorous standards like ISO 8800 and UL 4600.
  • Manage the technical quality and deliverables of external safety consultants and Tier-1 partners.
