3-5 years of industry experience in systems engineering, safety engineering, autonomous systems, or a directly related field.
Strong systems thinking with the ability to decompose complex safety challenges and drive practical, scalable solutions.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams, influence stakeholders, and take ownership of safety outcomes.
Experience working in a fast-paced environment with multiple parallel projects and ambiguous requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
Professional experience in safety-critical autonomous vehicle deployment or large-scale robotic systems operations.
Background in functional safety (ISO 26262, SOTIF) or safety assurance of unmanned systems.
Hands-on experience with safety validation tools, simulation-based V&V, or operational safety monitoring platforms.
Proven track record of defining release policies or safety readiness criteria for real-world autonomous systems.
