Jobbeschreibung

At the heart of product innovation and development, our Systems Engineering Department transforms market demands into safe, certifiable, and competitive solutions and architectures. By collaborating closely with software, hardware, safety, and certification teams, we ensure every product meets the highest standards while adapting to fast-evolving market needs. Our mission is to enable seamless human-robot collaboration and deliver solutions that are safe, compliant, and ready for the future. Join us to shape the next generation of human-robot systems by owning system-level requirements, integration, and alignment, with architectural responsibilities as needed. If you thrive in cross-functional teamwork and technical excellence, you’ll find extraordinary opportunities with us.

Your Mission & Challenges

• Own Safety Strategy: Drive the functional safety strategy across the full product portfolio. Establish lifecycle processes, safety plans, and governance structures aligned with IEC 61508 and ISO 13849
• Lead & Develop: Build and coach associated safety engineers across product lines — set priorities, establish safety plans and track the execution, and coach safety engineers hands‑on from first risk assessment (RA, HARA) through to safety case closure
• Compile the Safety Case: Own the safety case methodology end-to-end. Drive HARA, FMEA, FTA, and STPA campaigns, ensure requirement derivation, traceability, and verification across HW/SW/system, and deliver defensible safety argumentation per product line
• Drive Safety Concepts: Based on strong analysis and cross-functional work you generate and ensure smooth implementation of safety concepts in the products.
• Represent Safety Externally: Act as primary safety interface toward executive leadership, certification authorities, notified bodies, and auditors. Align safety evidence delivery with certification timelines
• Shape the Regulatory Response: Monitor the evolving regulatory landscape (EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, AI Act, ISO/TR 23482) and proactively adapt the safety approach. Drive cross-project lessons learned

What We Can Look Forward To

• Education: MSc or PhD in Systems Engineering, EE, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field. TÜV FSEng, CFSE, or Exida certification strongly preferred
• Track Record: 3+ years in functional safety engineering, ≥2 years as active FSM — combining governance oversight with hands‑on project contribution across safety planning, competence management, and safety case compilation
• Standards Mastery: Deep expertise in IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 10218. Working familiarity with ISO 26262, SOTIF, and EU Machinery Regulation / CE marking
• Safety Reasoning & Methods: HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA, ETA, reliability modeling, structured argumentation (GSN/CAE). Proficient in Medini, APIS IQ, DOORS, Polarion, or equivalent
• Leadership & Communication: Proven track record coaching safety engineers in a fast-paced, multi-product environments. Able to convey safety rationale to engineers, managers, and auditors alike. Experience with autonomous or AI-enabled robotic systems is a strong differentiator
