Senior System Safety Engineer – Autonomous Vehicles

AeroVect; Dublin; On-site; EUR 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

AeroVect in Ireland is seeking a Senior Safety Engineer to drive hardware safety across autonomous vehicle platforms. You will perform quantitative safety analyses (FMEDA, HARA, FMEA/FTA), derive safety requirements, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to verify and validate safety artefacts for deployment.

Qualifications include 5+ years in safety engineering for automotive, aerospace, or industrial robotics, strong experience with ISO 26262 and related standards, and a BS/MS in a

Qualifications

• 5+ years in safety engineering for autonomous vehicles, automotive (ISO 26262), aerospace (DO-178C/DO-254), or IEC 61508.
• 5+ years in hardware safety engineering, EE reliability, or failure rate modeling for automotive, aerospace, or industrial robotics.
• Background with autonomous driving systems or mobile robotics.
• Experience under mentorship in a high-velocity agile engineering team.
• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline.
• Mastery of FIT rate modeling, component failure rate calculation methods (SN 29500, IEC 61709, MIL-HDBK-217), and FMEDA workflows.
• ISO 26262-5 Mastery: hardware architectural metrics (SPFM, LFM) and hardware diagnostic strategies.

Responsibilities

• Perform Quantitative Hardware Safety Analyses, including FMEDA, hardware diagnostic coverage analysis, and PMHF.
• Calculate hardware component and system failure rates using standard methodologies (SN 29500, IEC 61709, MIL-HDBK-217, Telcordia SR-332).
• Evaluate drive-by-wire compute hardware, sensor suites (Lidar, Radar, Camera), actuator interfaces, and power distribution systems for single-point and latent faults.
• Derive Hardware Safety Requirements (HSRs) for redundant architectures and fail-operational compute nodes.
