Tech Lead - Robot Safety and Security (f/m/div.)

• As part of our team, you will own the runtime and assurance architecture as well as the verification strategy, defining explicit claims, operating limits, timing assumptions, and evidence. You resolve safety/security interactions while defining monitoring independence, sensing interfaces, and safe-reaction interfaces together with the responsible specialists and OEM engineers, determining which claims the implementation and test evidence can actually support.
• You will lead technical reviews of embedded implementation, hazard and threat analyses, verification plans, and field-validation results. You maintain traceability from requirements through code and testing to the technical file.
• Additionally, you will implement critical embedded runtimes and verification components while guiding sensing integration, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and fault injection, including missing or stale inputs, violated limits, and detection and reaction timing. You review test adequacy and assess force/pressure evidence where human-robot interaction requires it.
• You will take ownership of the formal-methods strategy for the safety runtime and the safety-security agent-harness tool development plan. You establish specifications, proof obligations, assumptions, trusted components, and independent checks required for the protection functions and when the harness is used in its own development. You also address verification-tool assurance where required by the selected development approach.
• Furthermore, you will reproduce and challenge proof/checker results, investigate counterexamples and uncovered failure modes, and close corrective actions. You defend technical evidence in reviews and audits without overstating its coverage.
• In our Agentic AI Software Factory, you will use coding agents for implementation, test generation, review preparation, and documentation. You validate their output through reproducible checks and human review, preserve traceability, and apply controlled access to code and data.
