Your Responsibilities
In Collaboration With The Other Safety Expert(s)
Lead the functional safety activities for Wayve’s ADS, and its integration into present and future vehicle platforms, or the integration of third party safety-critical systems. This involves:
Working with various internal and external teams to gain a deep understanding of the system under development to build the Item Definition work product for each platform.
Conduct risk assessments (HARAs, FMEAs, FTAs) to identify the risks and build a safety concept to mitigate the risks to an acceptable level.
Work with internal design teams to build a system architecture that meets the safety concept including decisions on decompositions, deriving relevant SW and external requirements.
Support internal SW teams in implementing the safety requirements on target HW.
Define test specifications at various levels of integration to verify and finally validate the safety concept.
Define the Safety case by building a structured claims, arguments and evidence based paradigm.
Contribute to developing the safety work products for production projects with similar activities as defined above.
Work with the process and compliance teams to update the safety processes for certification activities.
Your Skills
Mandatory
Very good understanding of the functional safety development process as per ISO 26262 with a minimum 5 years of experience in applying the standard on different automotive systems; in particular parts 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9.
Experience in conducting vehicle level testing activities at proving grounds to verify and validate the safety concept.
Desirable
Expertise in ISO 26262-6; the candidate must have practical experience in developing or leading the development of ISO 26262 compliant production software and in the qualification of software tools.
Experience in managing suppliers of safety related hardware or software elements (DIA design, supplier audit and assessment, project management)).
Knowledge and experience in developing the safety case of an AD systems, in particular:
Experience in developing the safety concept for a computer vision based system
Sufficient knowledge of neural networks (architectures, algorithms, training and testing pipeline) to understand the challenges associated with the safety assurance of such systems and discuss options and rationales with our scientists
Experience in SOTIF, especially in identifying SOTIF triggering conditions through analysis and defining testing and validation strategies to assess SOTIF performance.
Operational safety experience, such as identifying the operational risks and designing training and operational procedures to ensure the safety of testing on public roads, is a plus.
About yourself
You are truly passionate about Safety and making the world a safer place your mission; this is reflected in the way you choose terms appropriate to your audience, present the essence of system safety and formulate the key takeaway messages.
You are pragmatic, you understand the need to balance risk versus benefits, even more so in a startup environment.
You are comfortable in debating with other stakeholders safety-related trade-offs, at any level of the development process and at any level of the organisation.
You are self-starter, autonomous in thoughts but collective in action.
You are able to think and work at various abstraction levels; thinking “blue sky” and paving the way for long term safety goals, or diving deep into technical details to provide clear guidance and solutions on the safety activities for the development of a subsystem (e.g. controller) or launching an application (robotaxi)
You are confident in challenging others’ ideas and views, but equally, are open to constructive criticism and able to reconsider your opinions or beliefs.
This is a full-time, office-based role located in Sunnyvale or London, depending on the candidate's place of residence. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home. We operate core working hours so you can determine the schedule that works best for you and your team.
Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know.
We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.
At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law.
