About the Role
Working under the close guidance and supervision of the Head of Safety, the Senior Safety Engineer will execute core safety lifecycle tasks across AeroVect’s software and hardware platforms:
- System Safety Analysis: Perform hazard identification and risk assessments (HARA, FMEA, FTA, STPA) on the autonomous system architecture and vehicle operation concepts.
- Requirements Derivation: Derive, specify, and trace functional and technical safety requirements (FSRs / TSRs) for both supervised autonomy (safety driver present) and SDO unsupervised autonomy (driverless).
- Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate directly with systems, software, robotics, hardware, and test teams to ensure safety requirements are integrated, testable, and verified.
- Safety Case Support: Assist in building safety case artifacts and verification evidence required for airport commercial deployment.
