Requirements

• BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or equivalent preferred
• Several years of experience developing safety-critical systems
• Experience leading an interdisciplinary team in the development and fielding of a robotic system or autonomous vehicle with safety-critical components
• Knowledge of safety standards in the development and deployment of complex autonomous systems (e.g., ISO 26262, ISO 21448, UL 4600, IEC 61508, ANSI B56.5, ISO3691, ANSI 15.08)
• Experience constructing a safety case for a complex autonomous system including safety-related artifacts such as Hazard Analyses (HARAs), FMEAs, or FTAs
• Ability to articulate technical issues and solutions to all levels of the business, within and beyond the engineering communities

Responsibilities

• Lead teams in crafting safety-focused systems for autonomous driving in the airside operating environment
• Collaborate with subject matter experts to establish and document safety procedures
• Define key goals with safety and architecture teams
• Lead the creation of safety manuals
• Shape system behaviors for critical safety scenarios
• Ensure safety in all facets of ground vehicle autonomy, liaising with engineers and key customers
• Boost the safety, reliability, and performance of our autonomous driving system across various platforms
• Recognize and communicate potential risks and coordinate cross-functionally to develop solutions and mitigations

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with leading a safety team in the context of aviation and airline ground operations
• Familiarity with the airside driving environment at major global airports
• Background developing functional and SOTIF safety requirements and roadmap for an autonomous vehicle
• Experience leading a safety team in the development and fielding of a robotic system with safety-critical components
• Experience with cybersecurity (especially for automated vehicles)

Benefits

Up to 25% travel may be required
