Tech Stack

Description

You will lead cross-functional efforts to perform safety analyses, identify hazards, assess risks, define safety requirements, and propose mitigations for autonomous driving technology. You will participate in software and product design reviews to ensure safety requirements are addressed and effective in the field. You will also provide guidance on safety standards and regulations while helping to improve System Safety processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical fields
• Strong technical project management skills with the ability to manage multiple parallel projects
• 7+ years of relevant safety engineering work experience that includes minimum 5 years of System Safety engineering
• Proficient in selecting and performing appropriate inductive/deductive safety analyses in order to efficiently identify hazards and their level of risk
• Proficient in applying Systems Engineering principles including defining SMART safety mitigations/requirements and collaborating on effective verification and validation methods
• Extensive background in risk management and aligning risk based decisions with stakeholders
• Experience in writing code and performing unit tests as well as analyzing algorithmic structures in C, C++, and Python

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional efforts to perform safety analyses and identify potential hazard and their causes, assess safety risks (qualitatively and quantitatively), support the definition of safety requirements, inform design decisions, propose mitigations, and support verification strategies
• Participate in software, and product design and readiness reviews and discussions to help ensure that safety mitigations and requirements are addressed and ensure the safety mitigations are working effectively in the field
• Provide guidance on the adoption and adaptation of relevant safety standards, and industry best practices, and help ensure Waymo and its partners comply with relevant safety regulations
• Evaluates the continued effectiveness of implemented risk control strategies; supports the identification of new hazards
• Provide leadership in defining, implementing, and improving relevant System Safety processes while promoting our safety culture inside Waymo
• Provide leadership in integrating the System Safety Methodology with other methodologies of the Waymo safety framework
