About the Role
Overland AI is seeking a Software Systems Safety Engineer to lead software safety for autonomous ground vehicles. This role involves working with autonomy software teams to ensure the safety of vehicle systems by identifying safety-significant software functions, setting rigor levels, and producing analysis and test evidence. Your work will directly support MIL-STD-882E safety programs, ATEC safety releases, and customer certifications.
Responsibilities
- Identify safety-significant software functions and assign software control categories and criticality per MIL-STD-882E and the Joint Software Systems Safety Engineering Handbook (JSSSEH).
- Plan and execute level-of-rigor tasks: safety analysis of software requirements, architecture, design, and code.
- Analyze autonomy software for hazardous behaviors, including perception errors, degraded sensors, timing and latency, and machine learning components.
- Derive software safety requirements and trace them to design, code, and verification.
- Partner with software engineers on safety-critical design, such as fault detection, fail safes, watchdogs, and safe-stop behavior.
- Define safety-specific software testing across simulation, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and field testing, and evaluate the results.
- Assess software changes and releases for safety impact before they reach the field.
- Triage software bugs for safety impact on the system, set their priority, and work with the software teams to drive safety-relevant issues to closure.
- Own the software safety content of the safety case and Safety Assessment Report, and represent it in ATEC and customer reviews.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, or a related discipline.
- A track record of independently performing software safety analysis under MIL-STD-882E/JSSSEH or an equivalent framework (e.g., DO-178C, ISO 26262 Part 6, IEC 61508-3).
- Ability to read C++ or Python and software architecture well enough to analyze design and code for safety.
- Experience managing requirements (Jama, Doors, Polarion) and issue tracking (JIRA).
- Experience supporting and guiding teams through Unit Testing, SW Integration Testing, and Embedded SW Testing.
- Sound, independent engineering judgment on risk, and the ability to explain it to software engineers and external reviewers.
