Senior System Safety Engineer - Autonomous Vehicle Safety

AeroVect Technologies Inc.; Farmville (VA); Presencial; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

AeroVect Technologies Inc. is seeking a Senior Safety Engineer to lead core safety lifecycle tasks for our autonomous hardware and software platforms.

You will perform hazard analyses, derive safety requirements, and collaborate across systems, software, robotics, hardware, and test teams to ensure verifiable safety for supervised and driverless operation. Your role involves quantitative hardware safety analyses, failure-rate modeling, and development of safety cases to support airport

Formación

• 5+ years of hands-on safety engineering experience in autonomous vehicles, automotive (ISO 26262), aerospace (DO-178C/DO-254), or industrial safety (IEC 61508).
• 5+ years in hardware safety engineering, EE reliability, or failure rate modeling for automotive, aerospace, or industrial robotics.
• Prior background working with autonomous driving systems or mobile robotics.
• Proven ability to work under the technical mentorship of a Principal Safety Engineer in a high-velocity agile engineering team.
• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline.
• Proven mastery of FIT rate modeling, component failure rate calculation methods (SN 29500, IEC 61709, MIL-HDBK-217), and FMEDA workflows.
• ISO 26262-5 Mastery: Deep knowledge of hardware architectural metrics (SPFM, LFM) and hardware diagnostic strategies.

Responsabilidades

• 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-217F, 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.
