  • Create functional scenarios associated with behavior requirements applicable to US operations.
  • Collaborate with global V&V and test teams on establishing pass/fail and roadmanship criteria across various environments (HIL proving grounds, fleet, etc.) for the verification of driving behavior requirements.
  • Establish triggering conditions for SOTIF scenarios and safety acceptance criteria for US deployment.
  • Evaluate sufficiency of the product Safety Assurance Case for US release and close gaps as needed.
  • Develop safety plans and reports targeted for external stakeholders, including business partners, government agencies, and regulators (federal, state & local).
  • Collaborate with the global safety team to support the development of processes, tools, and databases to efficiently manage the above activities.
Requirements:
  • 7+ years of experience in a quality-focused role in the development of complex, software-controlled systems.
  • Bachelor's Degree REQUIRED (Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field); Master's degree preferred.
  • Technical leadership across a diverse team.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to span a large and global diverse team.
  • Proven self-starter mindset and the ability to work independently or with minimal supervision.
  • Be able to handle rapidly changing priorities.
  • Proven track record of delivering high-priority assignments efficiently.
  • Strong desire to learn new skills related to technology and software.
Specialized Skills:
  • Strong record working in the field of system safety as it relates to hardware, software, and system-level design.
  • Expertise with the application of ISO 21448 and/or safety-critical system design best practices for analysis of functional performance limitations or insufficiencies.
  • Strong understanding of evaluation of autonomous systems including pass/fail criteria, metrics, requirements, and more.
  • Expertise regarding use case analysis and/or scenario analysis.
  • Strong foundation in systems engineering fundamentals.
Work Flexibility:

Accommodation for working time zone differences between US locations and Germany as needed. Ready and able to travel (international and domestic) to remote offices, training facilities, or other testing cities subject to business needs.
