Applied Intuition is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with offices in Washington, D.C.; San Diego; Ft. Walton Beach, Florida; Ann Arbor, Michigan; London; Stuttgart; Munich; Stockholm; Bangalore; Seoul; and Tokyo.Learn more at applied.co.We are an in‑office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.About the roleSeeking a Systems Safety Engineer with hands‑on experience in system‑level safety analysis, hazard identification, risk assessment, and safety case development for autonomous and semi‑autonomous heavy machinery. The role focuses on enabling safe deployment of mining and industrial autonomous systems through practical safety engineering activities. Looking for someone who can build and drive machine‑level safety cases end‑to‑end, develop safety requirements from operational hazards, and work directly with engineering teams to close safety gaps through design, validation, and operational controls.Candidates with strong ISO 26262 Part 4 (System Development) experience are encouraged to apply. Prior mining experience is beneficial but not mandatory.At Applied Intuition, you will:Develop and own machine‑level safety cases for autonomous mining vehicle deployments and driverless operationsDesign, develop hazard identification and risk assessment activities for machine functions and operational scenarios, including:HAZOPSystem FMEAFunctional Failure AnalysisOperational Risk AssessmentSafety Gap AnalysisPerform safety analysis and derive Machine Safety Requirements (MSRs) for:Brake‑by‑Wire systemsSteer‑by‑Wire systemsThrottle‑by‑Wire systemsShift / Transmission‑by‑Wire systemsEmergency Stop systemsAutonomous motion control systemsRemote operation functionsAnalyze hazardous machine behavior, failure modes, and fault propagation paths to identify required prevention, detection, and mitigation measuresTranslate operational hazards and engineering findings into clear, implementable system safety requirements and verification criteriaSupport architecture reviews and identify safety gaps across sensing, compute, controls, hydraulics, actuation, communication, and operational processesWork across vehicle functions including braking, steering, propulsion, autonomy, operator controls, machine monitoring, and site integration activitiesSupport development of validation strategies and safety acceptance criteria for machine‑level demonstrations and driverless deploymentsCollaborate with systems, controls, autonomy, software, hardware, and validation teams to ensure safety requirements are implemented and verified end‑to‑endParticipate in machine bring‑up, fault injection activities, safety validation, field testing, and site acceptance activitiesReview HW FMEDAs, reliability analyses, diagnostic coverage assumptions, and fault detection mechanisms to support machine‑level safety argumentsSupport customer safety reviews, regulator discussions, operational readiness reviews, and deployment sign‑offs.We're looking for someone who has:Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline3+ years of system safety experience with a primary focus safety per ISO 26262 Part 6Hands‑on experience developing system‑level safety analyses and safety artifacts for complex electromechanical systemsStrong experience with HAZOP, FMEA, safety requirement derivation, risk assessment, and safety case developmentGood understanding of vehicle and machine control systems including braking, steering, propulsion, hydraulics, and autonomous control functionsAbility to analyze interactions between hardware, software, controls, operators, and operational environmentsExperience collaborating across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams to implement safety requirements end‑to‑endExperience defining safety requirements and mitigation strategies from identified hazards and failure modesExperience supporting verification and validation activities for safety‑critical systemsHands‑on experience producing safety work products across the V‑cycleCandidates with automotive functional safety experience, particularly ISO 26262 Part 4, HARA, FSC/TSC development, ADAS, or autonomous driving systems, are considered relevant and transferable to this roleNice to have:Familiarity with requirements management and traceability tools (JAMA, DOORS, Polarion, or equivalent)Working knowledge of machine safety and industrial safety standards such as ISO 19014, ISO 17757, ISO 13849, IEC 62061, and ISO 12100Experience working with mining, construction, agricultural, industrial, robotics, autonomous vehicle, or heavy equipment programs is desirablePreviously worked on OS, Device drivers and Platform level Safety is value addedCompensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits.
