The role

This person will develop and own machine-level safety cases for autonomous mining vehicle deployments. They will perform hazard identification, risk assessment, and derive safety requirements for various vehicle systems.

What you will do

• Develop and own machine-level safety cases for autonomous mining vehicle deployments
• Design hazard identification and risk assessment activities including HAZOP and System FMEA
• Perform safety analysis and derive Machine Safety Requirements for vehicle systems
• Analyze hazardous machine behavior, failure modes, and fault propagation paths
• Translate operational hazards into system safety requirements and verification criteria
• Support architecture reviews to identify safety gaps
• Work across vehicle functions including braking, steering, and propulsion
• Support development of validation strategies and safety acceptance criteria
• Collaborate with systems, controls, autonomy, software, hardware, and validation teams
• Participate in machine bring-up, fault injection, and field testing

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• 3+ years of system safety experience with a primary focus safety per ISO 26262 Part 6
• Hands-on experience developing system-level safety analyses and safety artifacts for complex electromechanical systems
• Strong experience with HAZOP, FMEA, safety requirement derivation, risk assessment, and safety case development
• Good understanding of vehicle and machine control systems including braking, steering, propulsion, hydraulics, and autonomous control functions
• Ability to analyze interactions between hardware, software, controls, operators, and operational environments
• Experience collaborating across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams
• Experience defining safety requirements and mitigation strategies from identified hazards and failure modes
• Experience supporting verification and validation activities for safety-critical systems
• Hands-on experience producing safety work products across the V-cycle

Nice to have
