Job Description
The Autonomous Driving System Safety Lead is responsible for developing and managing safety claims and evidence for Nuro's self-driving technology, ensuring system safety and compliance, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to support the deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and author safety claims in the ADS safety case for onboard and offboard software, including AI components.
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams to develop system requirements, AI architecture, and supporting evidence for safety claims.
- Manage safety claims by understanding ADS design, interfaces, and capabilities, and delegate claim decomposition to teams.
- Generate counter-arguments to safety claims and ensure they are addressed or mitigated.
- Review and assess evidence from evaluation and validation activities to support safety claims.
- Develop processes to track safety performance indicators for L4 deployment and monitor safety metrics.
- Escalate technical and functional risks, identify gaps, and propose mitigations to senior leadership.
- Support safety research, identify relevant standards and best practices, and apply them to the safety case.
Requirements
- 5 years of technical work experience in a relevant area, of which 3 years should be in robotics software.
- Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, or Doctoral Degree in Computer Science, Math, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or related field.
- Working knowledge of and ability to apply systems engineering concepts of requirements, verification, and validation, with a deep understanding of how robotic systems work.
- Experience working in a safety-critical industry such as robotics, automotive, aviation aerospace, or medical devices for a complex robotic system.
- Hands-on experience with ISO 21448 and familiarity with ISO 8800.
- Ability to understand and manage safety claims by understanding the ADS design, interfaces, and technical capabilities of the system.
- Experience generating atomic safety claims through claim decomposition and managing quality of delegated claims.
- Experience generating counter-arguments and challenges to safety claims, and ensuring they are addressed or mitigated.
- Experience reviewing and assessing evidence from evaluation and validation activities as arguments for safety case claims, working closely with verification and validation test teams.
- Ability to develop processes for and coordinate the tracking of safety performance indicators from various Systems Engineering and Software Evaluation teams to monitor L4 driverless deployment.
- Experience escalating functional and technical risks, identifying missing work items such as test gaps, ADS design risks, and AI architecture insufficiencies, and proposing mitigations to senior leadership.
- Support safety research and identify appropriate technical standards and best practices to support the safety case, applying them effectively.
