Safety Expert, Robotics & Drones
As a Robotics Safety Architect you will be the technical authority for robotic system safety, owning the definition, realization, and validation of end-to-end safety concepts for autonomous robots operating alongside people and industrial equipment. You will define how functional safety, autonomy and system architecture come together to ensure that proofs of concept evolve into certifiable, scalable and reusable safety-compliant platforms deployable across multiple customers, applications and form factors.
Key Responsibilities
- Safety Architecture & System Design
- Own the end-to-end robotics safety architecture for AMR and drone platforms across sensors, perception, localization, planning, control, actuation, HMI and connectivity.
- Define and maintain the system-level safety concept, including functional safety architecture, safety goals, safe operating states, degraded modes and fault response strategies.
- Architect safety mechanisms and patterns: safety monitors, supervisors, redundant sensing and compute paths, watchdogs, heartbeat mechanisms,
safe motion and emergency stop behaviors, diagnostics, fault containment and recovery.
- Partition safety-critical and non-safety workloads across SoCs, MCUs, safety MCUs and off-board services with clear freedom-from-interference strategies.
- Define clear interfaces, safety contracts and assumptions between perception, localization, planning, control, safety functions, fleet systems and cloud components.
- Ensure the software and system architecture meet all derived safety, performance, timing, moding and availability requirements.
- Safety & Compliance Leadership
- Lead alignment with applicable robotics and machinery safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 10218, ISO 3691-4, ISO 12100).
- Collaborate with system safety engineers to define hazard analyses and risk assessments, perform and review FMEAs, FTAs and fault injection strategies.
- Develop and maintain structured safety c
