- Coordinate system requirements, AI architecture, and safety evidence with cross-functional teams.
- Manage safety claims by understanding ADS design, interfaces, and technical capabilities.
- Generate and decompose safety claims, delegate to teams, and ensure quality of claims.
- Develop counter-arguments to safety claims and ensure they are addressed or mitigated.
- Review and assess evaluation and validation evidence supporting safety claims.
- Track safety performance indicators to monitor L4 deployment safety.
- Escalate technical and safety risks, identify gaps, and propose mitigations to leadership.
- Support safety research and apply relevant technical standards and best practices.

- Hands-on experience with ISO 21448 and familiarity with ISO 8800
- Ability to understand and own safety claims in the ADS safety case for onboard and offboard software, including AI components
- Ability to generate atomic safety claims through claim decomposition, delegate to cross-functional teams, and manage quality of delegated work
- Ability to generate counter-arguments or challenges to safety claims and ensure they are addressed or mitigated
- Experience reviewing and assessing evidence from evaluation and validation activities to support safety case claims, working closely with VV test teams
- Experience developing processes for tracking safety performance indicators from various Systems Engineering and Software Evaluation teams to monitor L4 driverless deployment
- Ability to escalate functional and technical risks, identify missing work items such as test gaps, design risks, and AI architecture insufficiencies, and propose mitigations to senior leadership
- Support safety research and identify appropriate technical standards and best practices to support the safety case
- Strong collaboration skills with the ability to think and communicate analytically and effectively, and to build good working relationships
