Applied Intuition is hiring a Systems and Safety Lead to serve as the system safety lead for ADAS and autonomous driving programs. You will define and own the safety case for our commercial trucking autonomy program, shaping the strategy across systems engineering, safety engineering, and operational safety.
What You'll Do
- Define and own safety case development for commercial trucking deployments in the US and Japan.
- Embed safety as a core pillar of the trucking program, from the definition of the L4 stack to operational safety and incident response.
- Lead safety engineering and functional safety analysis, including ISO 26262, SOTIF, and UL 4600 for the autonomous driving stack.
- Partner with system architects and regulatory teams to define fault-tolerance, fallback, and safe-state behaviors.
- Guide risk assessments, such as HARA, FMEA, and STPA, and ensure validation coverage for safety-critical features.
- Collaborate with simulation and test teams to design scenario-based safety validation pipelines.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of industry experience in autonomous driving.
- Deep expertise in system safety engineering for autonomous vehicle programs, including hands-on experience with ISO 26262, SOTIF, and UL 4600.
- Experience developing and owning safety cases for commercial autonomous vehicle deployments.
- Strong background guiding risk assessments such as HARA, FMEA, and STPA for safety-critical systems.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, regulatory, and test teams to deliver validated, production-ready safety solutions.
Nice to Have
- Experience with safety case development for both US and Japanese regulatory environments.
- Prior work embedding safety processes into L4 autonomous trucking programs.
- Advanced degree in engineering, robotics, or a related technical field.
