Jobbeschreibung

why this role matters

Functional safety is what turns coera from a promising product into industry infrastructure. You will own coera's safety case end to end, at component, product, and cell level, in support of customer applications. First CE marking under EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 with the notified body is yours to deliver. The certification story we tell in two years starts with the choices you make in month one.

what you will own

• Own coera's safety case end to end, at component, product, and cell level, in support of customer applications.
• Run FMEDA, FTA, HAZOP, and STPA across every coera deployment.
• Deliver the first CE marking under EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 with the notified body.
• Design coera's safety argumentation: safety goals, functional and technical safety requirements, and the traceability that holds it together.
• Be the technical authority in safety conversations with customers, integrators, and regulators.

what we look for

• At least six years in functional safety engineering, including at least one shipped SIL2 / PLd program.
• Deep working fluency in IEC 61508 (SIL determination, lifecycle) and ISO 13849 (PLd, Categories, DC, MTTFD, CCF).
• Working knowledge of IEC 62998, EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 conformity assessment, and relevant robotics norms.
• One of: Certified Safety Machinery Engineer (CSME), TÜV SÜD Functional Safety Certified Professional (FSCP), TÜV Rheinland FS Engineer, or exida CFSE.
• Hands‑on fluency with at least two of: Sistema, Ansys medini analyze, ISOGraph, Polarion, DOORS, LDRA, Vector.

Strong signals

• Standards working-group contribution: ISO TC 299, IEC TC 44, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42, or UL 4600.
• Published safety case using claims‑arguments‑evidence (CAE) or Goal Structuring Notation (GSN).
• Bridged ISO 26262 (ASIL) and IEC 61508 / ISO 13849 (SIL / PLd) in the same architecture.
• Shipped a perception‑based safety function at SIL2 or PLd.

what we offer

A core-team role with real ownership over what we build and how. Direct line to deployments with leading robotics partners from day one. Post-thesis, pre-scale: the window where the work you do actually compounds.
All coera employees participate in the company's long-term success through our employee participation program (ESOP). The specific terms of your participation are agreed individually as part of your compensation package.

how we work

Small, senior, deliberate. We write more than we meet. We ship the core of the product before we ship the edges. We care about craft in code, policy design, and how we engage with customers. The bar is high, and the stakes are high: the safety layer of the robotics revolution is being built now, and we intend to be the one that defines it.
